French Small Table Easel

Slender stand shaped like a tiny cross with ambitions of being furniture.

This small table easel is from France, and is contemporary. It is brass. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, valued for its warm golden color and for resisting rust, which makes it a common metal for display stands. Tall, thin upright post in a muted golden metal finish rises from a flat rectangular base. A short crossbar sits at the top and a small adjustable shelf is clamped lower down. The finish is soft and slightly brushed. It is 4.75 inches wide, 2.75 deep and 14.25 high.

Stands up straight for objects that cannot do it themselves.
