It shows wear consistent with age, including light surface scratching and rubbing to the shelf and the back panel. The finish is glossy and I cannot establish if it is original or a later application, so I am not describing the surface as original. The pivot screw is the only visible hardware and I have not assumed it is first to the piece. The stand opens and sits as shown in the photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePlease review all photographs closely, as they form part of this description.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67636976746774,"sku":"ENM-2029","price":425.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/October2026-14418.jpg?v=1793132736","url":"https:\/\/austyn-marie.myshopify.com\/products\/antique-edwardian-oak-folding-book-stand","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
