English Mahogany Two-Tier Rotating Bookstand Library Stand
Late 19th C / Early 20th C
Two tiers with slatted sides, ending on bun feet
28.75"h x 17.5"w x 17.5"d
Square two tier form, divided by upright wooden slats that act as book supports
Turntable base with four shaped supports resting on small bun feet
Warm medium-brown finish, likely mahogany or walnut, with original patina
Construction and finish suggest handcrafted joinery rather than mass factory output, so it was probably made by a cabinetmaker or small workshop, not an industrial firm
Design emerged in England in the 1860s, popularized by Gillows of Lancaster
