Vintage Victorian Figured Walnut Canterbury Magazine Rack on Casters with Drawer
$1,200.00Highly decorative walnut Canterbury magazine/book rack/sheet music stand in the Victorian style (ca. late 19th/early 20th Century, England).
Composed of three spacious storage slots formed by slender turned bobbin/barley twist columns topped with bulbous-form finials on each end, all supported by turned baluster legs with the original caster wheels. Additionally, there is a shallow bottom drawer for additional storage.
Good age present (former worm wood holes, patina, age-commensurate scuffs, and soiling to the paper in the drawer, along with a small spot of veneer loss to the drawer, as shown). Remains a highly functional, exquisite piece.
