Description from the seller

Original wooden lectern / music stand from circa 1930, presumably originating from the Amsterdam Conservatorium or manufactured for institutional use in that period (Bach Hall).

The design shows strong Amsterdam School characteristics: expressive styling, bold geometric lines. An exceptionally functional object with a sculptural appearance.

The stand is made of beech wood and plywood, four fins with original ball feet. The solid wooden adjustable column is equipped with original height adjustment via a brass pin and a hole series. The top is generously sized and readily usable as a music lectern, display object, menu stand, or decorative design piece.

Height 100-160 cm
Width 55 cm
Depth 50 cm

A special object that will appeal to collectors of the Amsterdam School, Art Deco and Dutch design as well as interior designers.

In good original condition with normal signs of wear for its age. Nice patina. Structurally solid and usable. The top is somewhat cocked over the past 100 years (I have tried to document this in the photos).
