Wooden painter’s easel – adjustable studio easel with rich patina, late 19th – early 20th century

Wooden painter’s easel – adjustable studio easel, late 19th – early 20th century

A sturdy painter’s easel or studio easel in wood with a lovely, thick patina. Two uprights and a slotted central mast rest on an H-shaped base with broad, rounded feet. The canvas tray (the shelf the canvas stands on) and the upper clamp slide along the central mast and are fixed with wing nuts, so you can display canvases and frames of different sizes.

The canvas tray still shows traces of paint: this easel was genuinely used in a studio. The construction with old slotted screws and the deep patina point to a studio easel from the late 19th or early 20th century. The two adjustment bolts with wing nuts are later replacements.

Why we chose this piece

An easel with a past: the deep patina of the wood, the paint spatters and the simple, functional shape make it an atmospheric object, even if you don’t paint yourself.

Style and interior

Beautiful for displaying a painting, mirror or large photograph in a living room, hallway or shop, or for giving a space a studio or bohemian feel. Suits a country, industrial, classic or eclectic interior. The paintings in the photos are not included with the easel, but are available separately; feel free to ask.
