Description

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.

Width – 19 inches , 48 cm

Depth – 19 inches , 48 cm

Lowest height – 58 inches , 147 cm

Tallest height – 67 inches , 170 cm

FAQs

Music stands from the Victorian era were crafted to hold sheet music for parlour instruments such as the piano or violin, reflecting the popularity of domestic music-making during the nineteenth century.

These pieces were typically constructed from dense hardwoods like walnut or mahogany, featuring hand-carved details, turned pedestals, and often brass adjustment mechanisms or wire lyre motifs.

Authenticity is indicated by period-appropriate joinery, traditional hand-carving techniques, natural patina on the wood, and brass components that show age-appropriate oxidisation and wear.

This piece can be integrated into a living space or study as an accent object, either utilised for holding open books or sheet music, or left bare to showcase its sculptural wooden form.

Preserve the finish by keeping the stand away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a dry cloth, and occasionally applying microcrystalline wax to nourish the timber.
