Book Stand with Serpent
Item Description
Arts & Crafts wood and brass bookstand adorned on the front with a writhing serpent, biting on its own tail.

The overall width is 37.5 cm and the depth just under 15.5 cm. Internally the width is around 33 cm.
Full of character, West Country English and dating from around 1905.
