Item Description

Very Fine Early 19th Century Regency Period Mahogany Adjustable Folding Duet Music Stand

A fine quality early 19th-century Regency period folding mahogany duet music stand, in excellent original condition. The stand features twin book-rest panels, latticework struts and brass page holders. The bookrests fold out to support music on either side, allowing two musicians to play a duet. The fold-out bookrests are held in place by a support that pivots on the central column, and the panels fold flat for storage and transport.
Below, the stand has a turned, reeded column incorporating a notched brass height adjustment mechanism. The height can be adjusted by holding down a lever on the side of the column; releasing the lever locks the mechanism again once it has engaged with another notch. The stand rests on three splayed legs terminating in small, elegant brass and ball castors.
The music stand displays a rich brown mahogany colour. Retaining its original polish, it has a superb colour and patina that can only be achieved through age and many years of careful use and maintenance. This music stand would complement any home, particularly an office or study; it would certainly grace any interior and is also an excellent investment, being both decorative and extremely functional.
