About

This early 20th century brass magazine rack, crafted circa 1920, is designed in a classic Renaissance Revival style and features a richly embossed heraldic panel. The front displays a sculptural coat of arms with a central shield bearing a cross and flanked by two birds, framed by elaborate scrolling acanthus leaves and surmounted by a knight’s helmet, all rendered in high relief. A repeating heart and bead border surrounds the panel, adding refined decorative detail and strong architectural presence. Constructed in solid brass with a warm aged patina, the rack is joined by a gracefully curved brass handle and raised on small metal feet. The interior retains its original cream-painted finish, offering a pleasing contrast to the rich tone of the exterior. The piece has a substantial feel and sturdy construction, making it both practical and decorative. Ideal for storing magazines, newspapers, or vinyl records, this circa 1920 brass rack would bring Old World charm to a study, library, office, or living space. It is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, with light surface wear consistent with its period. Dimensions: 17.25″W x 7″D x 13.5″H
