Very rare original wooden lectern / music stand from circa 1930, presumably originating from the Amsterdam Conservatory or manufactured for institutional use during that period.
The design displays strong characteristics of the Amsterdam School: expressive styling, powerful geometric lines, and a striking asymmetrical tripod base. An exceptionally functional object with a sculptural appearance.
The stand is crafted from beech wood and plywood, featuring a solid wood adjustable upright with the original height adjustment mechanism via a mortise and tenon joint. The tabletop is generously sized and perfectly suitable as a music stand, display object, menu stand, or decorative design piece. A remarkable object that will appeal to collectors of the Amsterdam School, Art Deco, and Dutch design, as well as interior architects.
In good original condition with normal signs of use commensurate with age. Beautiful patina. Structurally sturdy and functional. The tabletop has warped slightly over the past 100 years (I have tried to capture this in the photos).
