Raised on a wonderfully primitive tripod base of which no two feet are the same, this blacksmith made music stand also has a rudimentary adjustable mechanism, with a thumb screw fixing. The metal is weathered and oxidised and has developed a great texture and surface. Presumably made as a special order or present, by a blacksmith more accustomed to making and working horseshoes, this engagingly sculptural and primitive piece exemplifies the raw spirit and nature of Folk Art. In untouched original “as found” condition.
