Crafted in bronze, the stand features an ornate openwork top decorated with graceful scrolling elements and a central oval opening. The center is personalized with the engraved initials “HFM”, accompanied by the numbers “17” and “65.”
The hinged reading surface can be adjusted through six different positions, ranging from approximately 3.5 inches at its lowest position to 9.75 inches at its highest. The stand measures approximately 11.5 inches wide by 10 inches deep and rests on four small turned feet.
Its adjustable design makes it equally appealing as a Bible stand, cookbook or recipe-book holder, tabletop music stand, reading lectern or decorative book display.
The aged bronze surface has developed a rich, warm patina that complements the architectural openwork design beautifully. This is the sort of functional antique that works especially well in a traditional library, study, kitchen, music room or Old World interior.
A distinctive French decorative accessory with both practical use and excellent display presence.
