Elaborate scrollwork and an impressive 21-inch height turn this vintage brass display easel into a decorative statement of its own. Its sculptural silhouette is ideal for giving framed art, a decorative plate or a favorite book greater presence.
The freestanding design features richly detailed cast scrollwork with floral and acanthus motifs, an ornate crest and scrolling feet. Engraved detailing runs along the tall front supports, while the hinged rear leg opens to create a stable tabletop display.
Its aged brass finish highlights the depth of the casting and gives the piece the character of much older European decorative metalwork. Rococo and Victorian influences are evident in the ornamentation, while the construction is consistent with later 20th-century decorative reproductions.
At 21 inches tall, this is a substantial display easel suited to larger decorative pieces and layered interiors.
