Rare Antique Gilt Wooden Mirror or Picture Floor Easel / Display Stand, 1900s
About the Item
Good condition, beautifully detailed and truly elegant, publicity picture stand.
Because of the quality of the workmanship this beautiful easel is a joy to look at, even when there is no picture displayed on it. Thanks to the solid structure and the three legged base this antique is perfectly stable, no matter what the surface underneath is like. The angle of this practical size stand can easily (no pun intended) be adjusted with the chain between the stand and the back-rest. In our images the small chain that prevents the back-rest from sliding is not there, but we will put it back on prior to shipping. We have never seen this type of antique stand and we believe that it was probably used by a theatre or a concert hall to announce, for example, a play or a concert or opera. The three 'picture frames' on top would have held images of the stars of the show and the large square one in the middle would have held the title and more graphics to announce the play or concert. The combination of the warm patina of the wood and the beautifully carved, scrolling motifs makes this French easel a real visual treat as well. Living in a home or working in a studio or small theatre with a hand-crafted and stylish easel like this brings real beauty into your life. Especially with one of your favourite movies, plays or artists displayed in it.
This stunning and highly practical easel is great value for money. Especially when taken into account that perfect packing and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days are complimentary.
Height x width x depth when in a normal, upright position: 56 x 19.7 x 22 inches.
We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again).

- Vintage Wrought Iron Adjustable Display Easel / Painting Stand in Romantic StyleLocated in Lisse, NLHand-forged in the midcentury era easel stand. If you are looking for different than normal and decorative at the same time then this vintage wrought iron easel could be perfect for you. Hand-forged out of iron, casually painted white and decorated with stylized metal flower brackets, this highly practical and open design easel brings just that extra bit of 'joie de vivre' that your living space or gallery might need. It is very easy to fold open and it stands perfectly strong and firm on its circular, flat metal feet. The chain holding the backrest in place, makes it perfectly safe also. In our images all the stylized flowers that hold the paintings are on the easel, but you would normally only use two for holding one painting.

- Antique Hand Carved Phoenix & Dragon w. Large Mirror Side Table Entry Hall StandBy Gabriel ViardotLocated in Lisse, NLRare large and extremely sculptural wall table with marble inlay and beveled mirror. If you are appreciative of rare and sculptural antiques then this large mirror /side table could be exactly what you are looking for. The quality and the patina of the large, fighting phoenix bird and dragon frame is second to none and for it to be in such good condition is truly amazing. It takes a special craftsman and artist to create such a piece, the type that you simply don't find anymore in this day and age. Because of the subject matter and the great quality, the first name that comes to mind would be that of master sculptor Gabriel Viardot. However, Viardot virtually made all of his dragon sculptures in the Chinoiserie style and this piece is clearly more European. In terms of the quality of the carvings, whomever created this unique piece of furniture certainly was no less artistic or skilled as Viardot, because this piece really is among the best you will ever see. The way in which this hand carved wooden phoenix is holding the shield-like beveled mirror in its claws and the way the dragon seems to try to fend off the enormous and fierce phoenix is both dramatic and impressive at the same time and it will never seize to amaze you or anyone visiting. Especially when you see the detailed carvings and the true size of this work of beauty in real life, you will be stunned. By the way, we learned that in imperial China, the dragon and the phoenix were respectively associated with the Emperor and the Empress...Category
