19th Century Wrought Iron & Brass Music Stand

19th Century Wrought Iron & Brass Music Stand is a splendid example of hand-craftsmanship, with a sturdy (and heavy) forged iron base with tripod legs supporting the solid brass two-sided book or music stand above. The brass stand is designed to swivel on its iron base. On the sides are pierced symbols of a lyre and stylized stars and florals. At the center of the floral design is the anagram with a “J” and an “S”. It is unclear precisely what the letters mean, adding to the mysterious charm of this incredible historical artifact!
