Folding Christmas tree stand, likely from the mid-20th century, painted in dark green. These types of stands were common before more modern designs. The stand is designed to fold flat for storage and unfold to create a stable base for a Christmas tree. It features a central support and adjustable arms with screws to secure the tree trunk. The stand is resting on a surface with dry grass and is leaning against a light-colored wall. Vintage Christmas tree stands like this one are often sought after for their nostalgic charm and durability. They can be made of cast iron or steel and sometimes feature decorative elements such as snowflakes or starbursts.
