English Brass Magazine Stand

A magazine rack that stands up on three bent brass legs.

English makers produced this magazine stand in brass and mahogany in England in the mid 20th century. Floor stands of this kind kept newspapers and periodicals within reach of an armchair. A divided brass rack with a looped carrying handle sits on a square mahogany platform, balanced on a slim tripod of curved legs ending in small flared feet. The brass has a soft, warm tone, and the wood is a deep reddish brown.

About 33 inches tall. Gives the unread pile a place of honor.
