Perfect for a contemporary artist’s workshop, or for displaying large oil paintings at home: An exceptionally sized example of an elegant and traditionally designed ma- hogany easel from the mid 19th century. These fine easels are encountered every so often, but generally they are several feet shorter. The main support base used to hold large picture frames has been replaced on this one, but otherwise the piece is in an original state of conservation. The motif of swans was popular in France during the first three quarters of the 19th century, especially during the Empire Restoration, and Louis-Philippe periods (1800-1849).
