Adjustable Art Deco Music Stand with Sliding Top

Art Deco Music Stand 

A distinctive Art Deco adjustable music stand, designed to hold written sheet music while playing and notable for its clever, well-engineered functionality combined with refined period style. The octagonal top is beautifully figured, with a shallow lip to support music sheets, and is mounted on a sliding mechanism that allows the surface to move smoothly to the side — an unusual and highly practical feature when seated or standing at an instrument.

The stand is height-adjustable, rising smoothly from a compact position to a full standing height, allowing it to be set precisely to suit the musician and instrument. The central column incorporates exposed metal elements and a simple tightening mechanism, giving a subtle industrial note that sits comfortably within the Art Deco aesthetic. The whole is raised on a stepped base that provides excellent stability while reinforcing the architectural form.

Visually, it has a restrained but confident presence, with clean lines, warm timber tones, and a balanced silhouette. It works beautifully as a functional object but also reads as a sculptural piece in its own right — equally at home in a music room, interior, or as an unusual decorative stand.

As with all our furniture, this piece has been professionally polished and restored where necessary, ensuring it presents very well while retaining its original character and charm.
