This Napoleon III French music stand, known in French as a lutrin, is crafted from solid walnut and features a lyre-shaped form emblematic of the Napoleon III period. The upper crest is adorned with a decorative rosette and slender brass rods framed by scrolling brass arms, reflecting classical musical motifs. The reading ledge includes a small brass peg for securing sheet music or books. The height is adjustable via a slender iron rod and is locked in place with the original brass key. The column rises from a turned walnut pedestal base with a rich, warm patina.

This elegant antique stand is of a kind we have never seen before.
