Elegant telescopic Victorian original iron and brass oil lamp stand, 1890s

Antique Victorian original iron, copper and brass oil lamp stand, from the 1890s. Elegant family heirloom in very good condition. The telescopic stand is about 5 foot high when collapsed and extends to about 7 foot; it sits solidly on its tripod with no wobble and is housed snugly when collapsed. The main body is blackened ironwork, with a decorative brass tap-type screw for the telescopic extension, with copper plating. There is a decorative rosette fitting at the base of the scope.

Would suit an antqiue collector looking for a period stand for an oil lamp, or could be converted by a designer into an elegant Nouveau electric light. The stand has sat in storage unused for several decades and has only been given a wipe down and dusted. We've avoided cleaning the brass/copper fittings to avoid removing the lovely patina on the copper (see photos).

But these could be cleaned sensitively to bring out more of a glow, and the ironwork could be blackened (though neither is strictly necessary).
