A Louis XVI Style Giltwood Folio Stand
A Louis XVI Style Giltwood Folio Stand
19th Century
Height 39 x width 24 1/2 x depth 15 inches.
European Furniture & Decorative Arts
Structurally sound but needing light conservation. There is a slight age crack through the center, mostly a separation at the joinery, that causes the taller side of the stand to wobble slightly. The stand can be used as-is, but might not support an extremely heavy folio. Gilding is mostly fine throughout with nicks, small chips and small gilt losses with exposed gesso as is normal. The wear is even and attractive throughout.
