Description
Architectural two-tiered magazine/book/periodical stand/rack/table (ca. 1950s, Italy).
Composed of a deeply sculpted stained Italian Walnut frame supporting a tubular brass rail with exposed brass hardware for draping or supporting magazines/newspapers and four panes of tempered glass (the main, central glass wall flanking two shallow shelves and one larger, angled glass panel forming the front of the magazine holder compartment).
The top glass surface is 17" L x 4" D and the bottom is 17" L x 6" D, so the glass surfaces themselves are somewhat limited to supporting smaller items.
Handsome, sophisticated piece in very good, refinished condition, though light wear remains to the newly polished brass (patina/tarnish).
