{"product_id":"folding-wood-book-stand","title":"Folding Wood Book Stand","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-indent:2em;\"\u003e\nThis antique folding wood book stand with a shield-shaped silhouette and scrolling shoulders is inspired by medieval and Gothic design. Crafted using edge-glued hardwood lamination, which is a construction method that reduces warping and splitting, the stand reflects both thoughtful craftsmanship and long-term functionality. Designed to both display and store with ease, the stand folds flat when not in use and opens to support a book at a readable angle. The piece likely dates to the 19th or early 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-indent:2em;\"\u003e\nThis stand would be especially well suited for displaying a cookbook in a kitchen, or a large volume on a desk or shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nMaterials: Lighter woods are maple or beech, medium tones are cherry or birch, and darker sections are walnut.\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 18” H × 13” W x 12.5\" D (open)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-indent:2em;\"\u003e\nThere is significant surface scratching and wear, particularly to the feet, consistent with regular use over time.
