The design depicts a large stylized lotus with pale green and gold petals against a black and turquoise background, in a style typical of the Art Deco period. The inscription "Lotus Bleu – Caprice de Femme" refers to one of the house's iconic perfumes. Manufactured by G.

The stand is made entirely of sheet metal, folded into three dimensions, and was likely intended for displaying bottles or boxes in a shop window.
