Not really - there's almost no unnecessary decoration. Compared to the late Victorian Gothic ones and especially the Baroque ones it's a masterpiece of pared-down modernism. Baroque pigeon stands are much favoured by the English Fantail, especially in a setting of formal parterres and bosquets. They are considered 'suspiciously Roman' by Prince Albert's Bearded Pigeon, which prefers the Gothic.
