This is a lovely brand new but still old luxury two-tiered cake stand, in the original box and I can see it has never been used!
Everything is there and in excellent condition including the instructions on how to put it together. Next has always been a high street favourite not just for fashion but for homewares as well and is known for style and quality.
I have only found one other on my research that is in similar condition so to me it means that it wasn't so popular, or they are still with the original owners or been broken or thrown away.
There are many assorted styles and ages of cake stands and we all know that an afternoon tea isn't right without a cake stand of some design.
Afternoon tea is historical pastime from Victorian times, either in a hotel or in the home for ladies to entertain their friends and social circles for special occasions or just for fun of it.
Getting your best China out and having sandwiches and cakes with proper brewed tea was and still is a special treat. There was a huge revival of this afternoon event in recent years and shops have popped up and even having birthdays and weddings organised to get people together and feel spoiled and posh just like days past.
It is something that really is part of British culture and can be made special and is fun to host and won't really ever go out of fashion.
I love hosting for afternoon tea, and I have my beautiful teacups and saucers and cake stand, it is a lovely way to get people around a table, no your matter age, it always brings a smile to people's faces. You can be as fancy and free as you like and actually you don't have to serve tea these days. Prosecco goes down well also.
I also know that my asking price is much more appetising than it would have been in the Next shop they are not known for being cheap if we are being honest.
