Vintage Wrought Iron Adjustable Display Easel / Painting Stand in Romantic Style
Located in Lisse, NL
Hand-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. However, there is the possibility of having more paintings or drawings (or menus) on display. By unscrewing the butterfly nuts...

Antique and Vintage Easels

While antique and vintage easels are traditionally seen as an artist’s tool, they also have decorative uses beyond their basic function.

Easels are tall supports that painters use to prop their canvas on while they work. While many wooden easels have been made over the years, versions made with alternative materials such as aluminum, steel and other metals can be found too.

There are various types of easels. Studio easels differ from table easels in that the latter is meant for tabletop use. An H-frame easel is said to be the sturdiest variety and has the largest footprint. You will likely need a dedicated space in your home for this studio easel as it isn’t meant to be portable and can’t be broken down easily. Another studio easel, an A-frame easel, has a triangular “A” structure versus the “H” form we see in H-easels. The A-frame easel is lightweight and may be a bit more affordable than an H-frame easel.

Beyond an artist using an easel to create the next masterpiece, an easel can help you incorporate art into a living room that doesn’t have sufficient wall space for a painting. There are lots of ways to arrange wall art, and hanging isn’t the only way to display your artworks. You can stand framed pieces and stretched canvases on an easel, a mantelpiece, floating shelves or on the floor leaning against a wall. This creates a casual look and also allows you to change your arrangement more easily without damaging the wall. An understated easel can fade into the background, serving as an unassuming platform that allows a work to speak for itself. Conversely, many ornate and sculptural examples of easels have been made over the years. What better way to draw an eye toward a work of art in your home?

Find a collection of antique and vintage easels on 1stDibs that includes mid-century modern easels, industrial-style easels and more.
