D032 Beautiful ornate Art Nouveau owl book rack made of brass over cast iron, with original all brass slide bars that let you adjust the length of the unit to hold more or fewer books as you so desire. Popular design in the early 20th century, the book stand has very nicely detailed owls on both ends surrounded by flowing Art Nouveau lines, pine branches, and pine cones. The book rach measures approximately 6.5" wide, x 4.5" high, and 8.5" long when unextended and 15.0" long extended. The brass slide bars are located on the lower part of the ends, and a magnet sticks to the end pieces (most likely for weight) but does not stick to the connecting rods. This indicates that the end pieces are probably cast iron with a fine brass coating. The bookstand is in very good condition with minimal age wear, and it's marked below the owl on the inside of the ends 9776. These are very popular with collectors because they're beautiful but also perform an everyday utilitarian function to store your books, and this one comes direct from a major Greenwich, CT estate collection. /145 SOLD
