<I>Wire frame, tulip</I>
ca. 1860-1940
Wire frame trellis in the shape of a tulip. The trellis has two wire legs, which could be inserted into the soil to keep it upright. It is formed by vertical and horizontal wire supports up the body of the blossom, which is pear-shaped. The top of the flower has a scrolled-end splaying outward on either side with a point in the center. This design is featured in the catalogue of M. Walker & Sons, of Philadelphia, PA as figure 33.
