Antique and Vintage Magazine Racks and Stands

Antique and vintage magazine racks and stands provide an easy organization option for storing your favorite periodicals without tucking them away out of sight.

The first magazine in America was published in the 1700s. Newspapers, however, are much older. As the popularity of magazines and newspapers grew, so did the need to store and organize them.

In your living room, a well-designed vintage magazine rack will help display your magazines in an orderly fashion while maintaining the stylistic integrity of your space. This accessory will keep clutter to a minimum, and, best of all, it encourages visitors to read at their leisure. Adding a rack or stand to your home office or reading nook is going to help you keep your desk and coffee table tidy. And given that so many have been made over the years, the right magazine rack to work cohesively in your space no matter your furniture style shouldn’t be hard to find.

Wood magazine racks, no matter the era of origin, are going to bring warmth to your entertainment room and will sit snugly alongside your organic modern furnishings. Mid-century modern magazine racks are also versatile in that regard, with furniture designers at the time working in teak (a preferred material for makers of the period), bamboo and rattan and exploring different forms and provocative embellishments. Alternatively, a streamlined metal magazine rack might be a better fit, texture-wise, if you’re looking for clean lines and an overall polished style to complement a minimalist approach.

Browse the selection of antique and vintage magazine racks and stands on 1stDibs to find the perfect accent piece for any space.
