This 19th-century anonymous design for a music stand is a detailed drawing of a lyre-shaped stand. The stand, crafted from metal, features a rectangular platform for sheet music and a base decorated with scrolls and a lyre, emphasizing its musical purpose. The drawing includes precise measurements, making it a valuable record of design and craftsmanship from the era. This piece is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and the integration of art and functionality common in 19th-century decorative arts.
