The solid brass is strong enough for a heavier book, though at 8\" tall it is best for smaller volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrass display easels like this one carry on a tradition that goes back to the Victorian parlor, where portraits, painted plates and treasured keepsakes were set out on tables and mantels. The scrolling, flower-inspired ornament echoes the nature-themed decoration the Victorians loved, and pieces in this style remained popular in cast brass through the mid-20th century. This easel has no maker's mark, so its story is told by the piece itself: the weight of solid brass, the crisp floral relief, and a patina that only decades of age can produce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse our shop for more display stands to round out your collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antigo Trunk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43361162887377,"sku":"U924","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/1733\/8577\/files\/IMG_9626_9f315b49-c11f-4901-aabf-f33591641da9.jpg?v=1791143441","url":"https:\/\/www.antigotrunk.com\/products\/display-stand-ornate-heavy-brass-scrollwork-two-legged-vintage-1960s","provider":"Antigo Trunk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
