A stunning antique Victorian carved walnut music stand. This was made in England, it dates from around the 1860-1880 period.It is of extremely fine quality, the solid walnut tripod base is beautifully carved. The top section has a pierced harp motif, it can be positioned at an angles on both sides to support sheet music, or it can be locked into a flat position. The brass rise and fall mechanism works well, the height can be adjusted to a wide range of sizes.This would also be very useful as a menu holder in a restaurant / bar setting.We have had this re-polished, the condition is excellent for its age, with just some minor wear here and there. The ratchet mechanisms that hold the tilt in place has one bit of damage on one arm, which means it is shorter, so that side is only supported by half of the mechanism. It is hardly noticeable and still holds firmly in place, it would support just as strong a weight as if there were both sides supporting. It is shown in the images....
