Antique 1869! Victorian Music Holder w/ Cast Iron Stand |
BEAUTIFUL, ornate,Victorian music holder. Guaranteed and dated to be circa 1869. SAME DECADE AS THE CIVIL WAR!! As you can plainly see in photos this rare piece is in tremendous condition! Eastlake influenced. Leaf and vine carving springs from center (chip or spoon) carved flower and continues down each side. Flower matches wonderfully with the raised flowers on the base. The heavy cast iron base is in mint condition and adjusts with wing nut, so no tools are required. It has a warm copper patina that goes great with the light walnut finish. The center raised panel is surrounded on all sides with bevelled edges. It is made of burled walnut creating a striking contrast to the other wood. The music holding shelf is tapered at each end and is ridged to help prevent page flipping. The only flaw of any note at all is a tiny split at the far left edge of the shelf. (caused by small tack nail). Where are you ever going to find another one like this!?!? It measures about 21 inches wide and about 15 inches tall,depending on slant. Many other unique architectural items listed. All questions encouraged and answered.
