Antique Victorian English Bamboo Book Rack Stand Brass

Antique Victorian English Bamboo Magazine Rack Stand

Canterbury by WF Needham, Birmingham, England

Direct from England, a fabulous English bamboo magazine rack or “canterbury”.  My shipper in London seeks out the finest bamboo pieces available and I received several in the latest shipment!!  PLEASE NOTE:  I only sell authentic antique bamboo pieces carefully selected for their quality construction and condition…..no reproductions!!

This is a spectacular piece, with classis splayed legs, beautiful tortoise bamboo, all the original painted lacquer panels with original wood backs…
This turn-of-the-century bamboo stand was made by the W. F. Needham Company.  The bamboo is very thick, and the quality construction is evidenced in the metal shoes and embossed joint covers.  The feet are embossed, “W. F. Needham’s Patent Metal Jointed Bamboo Furniture, Birmingham”.

For those unfamiliar with British bamboo,  W. F. Needham produced a variety of high-quality bamboo from 1888 to 1901, having patented the most superior method of construction for bamboo furniture and gaining an outstanding reputation for quality and the finest bamboo goods produced in Great Britian.

MEASUREMENTS:

34 ½”H x 17 ½” x 11”.

All of my antiques are hand selected from premier European shippers.  I do not purchase in bulk, but prefer to individually purchase the items, with each piece selected for its unique characteristics and quality.

CONDITION:

  The stand is in good condition, structurally sound and visually appealing with normal signs of age and use, scratches, dings, and other imperfections.  There are some age-related splits in the bamboo, as to be expected, but the stand retains its structural integrity despite its 100+ years, and is built to last for 100 more!!

I always provide multiple photos and written information, and I encourage you to email me with any questions you might have prior to bidding. Please keep in mind antique furniture should be purchased for its uniqueness, higher quality material and craftsmanship and antique patina, charm and character.
