Double Music Stand with colored finish and leaf gilding
Italy, second half of the 19th Century
Elaborately carved and turned in full relief from wood. The base features a moulded, three-lobed pedestal on which the three curving, volute-shaped and richly carved feet stand. The shaft of the music stand sits on a small cornice and is surmounted with a capital, fluted and adorned with ornate acanthus leaves and a pearl border.
The rotating double music stand is beautifully executed with ornamentation and leaf decoration, adjustable in height using a threaded spindle; crowned with a small brazier. This extraordinary Italian music stand is painted in multiple colors and gilded with gold leaf.
