In the standard folio stand, two rectangular lattice sections that support the open book adjust with a ratchet mechanism by turned supports fitting in grooves in the legs. Within this general scheme, the forms vary.\u00a0 Most have flat trestle vasiform supports on either side, generally in baluster silhouette form, with the entire assembly standing on shaped legs ending in casters. Another typical form incorporates a central turned standard on cabriole legs.\u00a0 Regency period examples tend to be more rectilinear, while Victorian stands have shaped parts in keeping with various revival styles such as rococo, baroque, or aesthetic movement.\u00a0 Most folio stands are raised or lowered by a turned support in a ratchet mechanism carved inside the legs, though some have an internal metal ratchet, released by the pull of a cord.<\/p>\n
Condition: Generally very good with the usual overall light wear, abrasions, minor cracking and chipping.\u00a0 Each professionally restored to tighten joints, and French polished.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
