Antique Victorian Velvet Photo Album on Wood Stand w/Mirrors & Brass Decorations

Description

Up for bid is an original vintage pre-owned
Antique Victorian Velvet Photo Album on Wood Stand w/Mirrors & Brass Ornate Decorations.
Found at a family estate sale. An incredibly rare find!
The details on the stand and the album are brass ornamentation - in the typical extravagant Victorian style.
Some age corrosion on some spots (see pictures).
There’s a little mirror on front and larger mirror on the inside of stand. The mirror on the cover is diamond shaped, with a brass ornate trim border.
There are 20 CDV Photographs dating from the 1880s to early 1900s.
Family believe that the album and some photographs came from Illinois.
Some photos have names visible and others may have names and dates written on the back.
Will leave it to the buyer’s discretion to remove them. All the pages are in beautiful condition and I did not want to damage the pages by removing photographs.
Very minor tears around the album photograph insert slit.
The Album is on a wood stand.
You unlock the clasp on the side and it’s hinged on the bottom so you actually fold the album downward then open.
When the album is pulled down it exposes another 8” by 6” mirror.
Some of the silver backing of the mirror is missing due to age.
On the back of the wood stand is a storage box mounted, but it is missing the front piece.
The front velvet is time worn and faded, but the back side is amazing and still colorful. All the original pages are present, none are missing from the album.
A previous owner name is written on the last inside album cover.
Overall it stands about 14 1/2” tall by 10” wide.
The Album itself is 11 ½” tall by 8 ½” wide
There is a beautiful latch on the photo album. It still works! The workmanship on the latch and surrounding detail work are just incredible.
This album and vanity stand is an heirloom piece, a perfect addition to your collection and love of beautiful memorabilia.

Items condition:
Please take a moment to enlarge & view all the detailed photos, as they are the true description for the condition of this item and override any written description above.
I'm selling mostly used items purchased at Estate Sales.
I try to describe the best I can but the photos capture what may have been missed in the written description.
I try to describe everything to the best of my knowledge but very few things I sell are Brand New and it will be stated in the listing if they are new. If it looks like a stain, nick, or fading in the photographs then it probably is, but I believe the condition of these items is part of their charm.
