About the Item

This late Victorian easel, dating to around 1890, is crafted in the Louis XV style and finished in a soft mint green paint with parcel-gilt highlights. The top features a finely carved shell cresting above a classic rise-and-fall mechanism, supported by a shaped lower shelf with a gadrooned edge. The piece stands on elegant cabriole legs, creating an attractive French-inspired silhouette. This easel comes with the added interest of having been used as an ex film and television prop. Although its exact screen appearances are unconfirmed, similar pieces are routinely hired for period dramas, historical films and popular TV series, meaning you may well recognise it from your favourite shows or films. In good condition, it shows light, honest signs of age and use, entirely expected for a functional late Victorian piece. Its adjustable design makes it perfectly suitable for artists creating new work, while also serving beautifully as a display stand. It can hold a favourite picture, framed artwork, or even a decorative mirror, making it a versatile and eye-catching piece for both practical and interior-design purposes. A charming and decorative late 19th-century easel with appealing film-prop provenance; a stylish addition to any home, studio, or creative space.
