What I have to offer for your viewing pleasure here is this beautiful antique Arts & Crafts stand! With its wonderful curving sides, thick rectangular cross beams, mortice / mortise and tenon joints finished off with dark walnut dowel pegs it is a beautiful example of Mission Period craftsmanship! I have had this for quite a few years and have never been sure of its use, whether its a canterbury / sheet music stand or a wine rack, the former doesn't make much sense with the open bottom as the sheet music would just fall through, it looks like it might fit a certain size of wine bottles perfectly I just don't have any hand that will fit it well. Either way it is a beautiful custom made piece and quite unique whatever its original use was. It is in superb overall condition for its age with some light wear and one dowel missing. It stands 11.25" tall by 14.25" long 12.25" wide.
