Collinge Antiques has dated this piece to the 1860s.
However, the top incorporates a pair of adjustable slopes to one end (held closed with the original brass button latches) which lift to make stands for books or sheet music with removable galleries to the bottom edge (stored beneath when not in use). The top also slides horizontally to one side to fit easily over a chair or bed, and is height adjustable to 42" on a brass mechanism within the column. On a shaped plinth with turned bun feet. Excellent original condition with some old marks to the top. Cleaned and waxed in our workshops.
Dimensions: width 36", depth 21", height 32"-42".
