A substantial late 19th-century artist’s studio easel, strongly constructed in solid oak and retaining a wonderful working character. The central upright incorporates a geared winding mechanism, operated by the original wooden-handled crank, allowing the main picture ledge to be raised or lowered with ease. A separate sliding upper support secures canvases of varying heights, making the easel fully adjustable.
The broad splayed base provides excellent stability and is raised on four castors, allowing this large easel to be repositioned when required. Throughout, the oak has developed a rich, warm colour and displays numerous historic paint marks, surface wear and signs of prolonged studio use, giving the piece an especially appealing and authentic appearance.
