The box opens to reveal metal-lined compartments for storing paints, brushes and other artist's materials, with a further hinged tray providing convenient access while working.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wooden construction retains a wonderfully characterful surface, covered in old paint splashes, marks and stains accumulated over many years of artistic use. These traces of its working history are particularly appealing and give the easel an authentic studio appearance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe adjustable supports and metal fittings allow the easel to accommodate different canvas sizes and painting positions. When not in use, the construction folds down for transport or storage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA practical piece of traditional artist's equipment, equally appealing as a decorative studio accessory or for displaying artwork.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe easel is in well-used vintage condition, with extensive old paint marks, surface scratches, wear to the wooden finish and oxidation to the metal-lined compartments. Some minor splitting and wear to the wooden components is visible. The easel has been opened and erected as photographed, although the full range of adjustments has not been tested.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 42 x 58 x 12cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDating: Probably mid-20th century, circa 1940–1970.","brand":"CIRCUS OF CURIOS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57019645526402,"sku":"05-11-26-Y-30-S-GW","price":100.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/1405\/9185\/files\/il_fullxfull.8803623662_8p3l.jpg?v=1793905488","url":"https:\/\/circusofcurios.com\/products\/vintage-wooden-artists-box-easel-folding-tripod-painting-stand-plein-air-field-easel-artist-studio-equipment","provider":"CIRCUS OF CURIOS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
