Product Description
A magnificent antique Anglo-Indian magazine or newspaper stand in the form of a Quran stand dating from the late 19th century. This beautiful stand was made in the Punjab or Kashmir region of India during the late 19th century from intricately carved Sheesham wood. Although the form is of a Quran stand, these were often made for British customers during the colonial period for use as magazine or newspaper stands. These types of stands were also imported and retailed by Liberty & Co in the late 19th Century as illustrated in their 1890s catalogues. The carving on this example is particularly good.
