Popularized in the Victorian era， the mirrored finish of the Gazing Ball provided a fish-eye view of the entire garden and was believed to fend off misfortune and deliver happiness and joy. A striking ornament in the garden， usually made of blown glass， gazing globes need a stand to keep them secure and on view. The three hand forged leaves of the Trestle Stands cradle your gazing ball for delicate support. Stable footed ring for use on hard surfaces or garden beds. In two shorter heights， these stands perfect for borders， deck or patio surfaces. Our Achla Designs Gazing Globes have a stem is captured in the tubular section at the top of the stand， ensuring the globe will stay seated in place. Designed to work with any Achla Designs Gazing Globes， in 6”， 10”， or 12” diameter. Also works with our Celestial Orb Lighted Solar Globes.
