These things do come up fairly regularly for auction, but all too often, at very high 'buy it now' prices. Thankfully, the owner of this original 1950s plant stand understands the concept of an auction, kicking things off very low.

eBay watch: Original 1950s midcentury plant stand
A few of these appear on eBay and are always popular. But this original 1950s midcentury plant stand comes with a very low starting price.
Whether you use it for your plants or ornaments, it's still an eye-catching piece. The main triangular table is made of chipboard and finished with a cream Formica top with a gold and black plastic rim. The table also has three removable wooden feet placed at a slight angle, a wooden stem and three small platforms each made of chipboard with Formica tops.
The Plant Stand is described as being 'in very good vintage condition', with some 'age related scratches and marks' on the Formica tops, but nothing significant. Just 99p right now.
Metropolis Deco plant stand
If you've spent days lovingly nurturing your house plants, they surely deserve to be presented in style. Take a look at this Metropolis plant stand, inspired by 1930s Art Deco.
Although the natural world of plants doesn't offer the most obvious link to the Machine Age, the design references the slick skyscrapers of the period. The tall metallic frame is topped off with black granite shelves and would be the finishing touch for a glamorous interior. You'll just have to make sure you don't ruin the look by using a plastic plant pot!
The stand costs £155.
