Description
Architectural two-tiered magazine/book/periodical stand/rack/table (ca. 1950s, Italy).
Composed of a deeply sculpted Italian Walnut frame supporting tubular brass rails with exposed brass hardware for draping or supporting magazines/newspapers and four panes of tempered glass, each set of two coming together to form right angles for surface and back support of displayed items .
The top glass surface is only 13.5" L x 3" D and the bottom is 13.5" L x 4" D, so the glass surfaces themselves are somewhat limited to supporting smaller items without spillover (note the gap between the glass and brass rails).
Handsome, sophisticated piece in very good, refinished condition, though light wear remains to the newly polished brass (patina/tarnish).
H: 25.25" x L: 16.5" x D: 17"
The top tier from back glass edge to brass bar is 4.38" D
The bottom tier from back glass edge to brass bar is 8.5" D
