Vintage Cast Iron Cookbook Stand Adjustable Recipe Holder Gothic Book Stand Missing Weights

Description

Beautiful heavy cast iron cookbook stand with an ornate Gothic-inspired pierced design, perfect for adding character to any kitchen or reading corner. Originally designed with page-holder weights/clips (now missing), it now functions best as a sturdy cookbook, tablet, recipe card or display book stand. The adjustable tilt mechanism still works well, and the stand remains solid, stable and highly decorative. The cast iron construction gives it a substantial feel, while the intricate pattern makes it both practical and stylish. Perfect for farmhouse, rustic, country kitchen, dark academia or Victorian-inspired interiors. Approximate Dimensions: • Width: ~24.5 cm • Base: ~ 11.5cm x 10cm • Hight: ~ 23.5cm • Weight: ~ 3.168kg In good vintage condition with signs of age and use consistent with age. Original page-holder weights/clips are missing (see photos). This does not affect use as a display or general book stand, though pages may need to be held manually with lighter books. It could also be used with ribbon ties or decorative clips as an alternative to the original weights. Solid and stable throughout. Please review all photos carefully as they form part of the description. Colours may vary slightly due to lighting. Props not included. All of my vintage and antique pieces show signs of age and previous use, which add to their charm and authenticity. Please expect natural patina, light surface scuff and scratch marks throughout consistent with age. I always do my best to highlight any notable details in the photos, so please check them carefully as they form part of the description. *The items may be packaged with repurposed materials.
