unit: 500€
pair: 900€

An elegant and rare pair of Empire-style oak table easels (or parlor easels) dating from the second half of the 19th century.
Width: 35 cm
Maximum height: 83 cm
Condition: Very good original condition


This beautifully crafted piece is distinguished by its top, crowned with two magnificent, finely carved swan neck, an iconic and highly sought-after motif in the Empire decorative repertoire.
The upper crossbar features delicate carved and turned detailing. The central wooden rack is fully functional, allowing the height of the picture stand to be adjusted using its original locking mechanism.
The rear leg, with its adjustable tilt, ensures perfect stability, making it ideal for displaying a masterpiece, an icon, a miniature, or a precious art book.

In beautiful original condition. A warm, amber-blonde patina perfectly highlights the wood’s grain. Note: there are slight, minor signs of wear that attest to its age without detracting from its aesthetic appeal.
