Sheet music stand Thonet 1885 - rosewood finish - music stand

Magazine rack or "Notenstander" by Thonet in its first version, between 1883 and 1895. The sections of the arches are thinner than those of the second model, and the central arch is not prominent to serve as a handle. In original condition without major restoration, this piece has been cleaned and then polished with shellac. This type of furniture is generally not stamped by Thonet, but it does not need a signature to be catalogued. It is in the well-known "decor" rosewood version appreciated by collectors. Dimensions: H: 54 cm, W: 49 cm, D: 44 cm. More photos and information available upon request; Shipping to France, Europe. Collection in Alsace.
