Description
An early 19th century Regency simulated rosewood music or reading stand.
The stand top has a hinged back support to adjust the angle and a hinged rest to the lower edge that has brass page holders.
The top also has a pair of heavy cast brass candle holders that have articulated arms and can be removed to allow the top to fold flat.
The stand has a reeded column and tapers to a heavy brass collar that holds a rise and fall mechanism that has a spring lock to the side which when pulled allows the column height to be adjusted.
The stand has a tripod base with three sabre shaped legs that have pea carved decoration and brass toes and casters.
The stand is in very good original condition, the simulated rosewood stain is a work of art in itself and does make what I believe to be beech wood look like genuine rosewood. (Circa 1810)
Height 138cm (54.3 inches)
