Marketing - Furniture / Household Appliances / interior design trends
English term or phrase: cake dishes on stems
On autumn trends in interior design, belonging to the "romantic, sophisticated style":

"Old pictures with ornate, rustic style frames, cake dishes on stems and rustic cheese domes are examples of elements belonging to this style."

I think "cake dishes on stems" refers to etagères, is this correct?

This is a rush job, so any quick (but accurate) help is welcome. Thank you!
