Product description
Antique wooden music stand with a heavy cast iron tripod base, from The Educational Supply Association Ltd., Holborn Viaduct (London).
Both the cast iron base and the wooden post bear the original markings, indicating an authentic, early 20th-century institutional piece.
Ideal as a music stand, bookstand, or characterful interior design piece.
This striking antique music stand combines solid oak with a heavy cast iron base, creating an object that is both functional and sculptural.
Originally designed as a reading or music stand, it carries the understated authority of its past—once serving as a stand for sheet music, sermons, or cherished texts. Today, it effortlessly makes a timeless centerpiece for any interior: perfect as a reading stand, display piece, music stand, or atmospheric accent in a library, studio, or characterful home.
The warm oak has a beautiful, authentic patina, while the cast iron base provides exceptional stability and weight. The proportions are well-balanced, with a slender vertical line resting on a robust base – elegant without being fragile.
This is not a decorative reproduction, but an authentic, functional object, shaped by time and use.
