jaxenro Posted Saturday at 12:22 AM Share Posted Saturday at 12:22 AM Anyone have plans for a decent easel for displaying pictures? I want something a little fancier than just three legs and a crosspiece you would think there would be one easily available for a full size one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted Saturday at 01:29 AM Share Posted Saturday at 01:29 AM I googled images of aantique display easels for pictures and found this: https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=2264b81808c3a581&sca_upv=1&rlz=1CATATK_enUS976&q=antique+display+easels+for+pictures&udm=2&source=univ&fir=6nt7PeyvFa5pRM%2CtiMwwtB-OUtu1M%2C_%3BC_vJIVQwUn3FlM%2CA2PKITDuX1qn9M%2C_%3B595lMLuww-P7vM%2C7qZbYKE8hIaRfM%2C_%3BOZ0Tc4idjnEtAM%2CLELt6dxLGzEH0M%2C_%3BRrdCnfee4MMSdM%2C0pm0zYqMjCth8M%2C_%3BhtiMPP9_8DMEqM%2CbLEw2T71UmMx_M%2C_%3BiK1VYAXg3pcHuM%2CWUU7Sf9YXZbBwM%2C_%3BT2FwDhPqR5hqHM%2C1wS7BilzaZAt4M%2C_%3BDvs1od_BXhS7jM%2CHVqcC3jxuhRCtM%2C_%3BECVSRnPaf8hPcM%2CRj16jtKJugZVPM%2C_%3BK8H6DHTpF26zSM%2C-RcXXUz1OKebGM%2C_%3BKXqaf1cNH3D6eM%2CD7wq7xYKmNaqjM%2C_&usg=AI4_-kTPvgL5pG79AHDLO_9QHOwXsJa1RQ&biw=1366&bih=617&dpr=1 I betcha you could easily copy some of them for your pictures.

havanaholly Posted Saturday at 10:48 AM Share Posted Saturday at 10:48 AM That one would certainly be contemporary with the period of the paintings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxenro Posted Saturday at 06:24 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 06:24 PM Played around nd made this one this morning three legs sort of based on the photo. Oil is soaking in then I will give it a few coats of gloss lacquer.

jaxenro Posted Saturday at 09:55 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 09:55 PM I need to find some little toppers for the legs they are 1/4 square something brass or bronze ideally and make the picture base adjustable, this one is just glued in at the bottom Then a few little adjustments and I can make some for my art store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
