Thomas Jefferson, whose personal library is the core of the Library of Congress, had in his cabinet a bookstand, suggesting his passion for knowledge. One can imagine him turning the stand, completely engrossed, consulting five books at once to find the answer to a burning question. This bookstand is a careful reproduction of the original, which was made in the joinery at Monticello, probably from Jefferson's own design. Modern users will find it great for cross-checking information from several sources or just keeping reference books and current reading handy. Made of solid mahogany with a soft, hand-polished finish, the rotating stand holds five books at adjustable angles on rests that fold down to form a 12" cube. Price: $615.00 Availability: Usually ships in 3-4 business days. Product #: 21503040 |
