This “Beautiful” Decor Gem from Magnolia Adds Vintage Flair to Any Work of Art

One of my resolutions for this year is to finally introduce some art into my home. I have plenty of other decor, but my walls and some of the shelves on my bookcase are sadly devoid of interesting things to look at. The thing that has kept me from buying any paintings or prints is my fear of having to hang them — especially because I rent my apartment. For the time being, though, I plan on placing some framed art on the barren surfaces around my space.

While browsing frames online, I noticed that Magnolia has hundreds of stunning, vintage-inspired styles. The one that caught my eye, though, is actually not a picture frame at all, but rather an accessory that elevates the look of any given frame. Magnolia’s brass shelf easel helps create a fancy-looking display around your favorite works of art — and shoppers seem to love it. With this effortless find, you can add a touch of vintage charm to any corner that could use a little extra something.

This shelf easel boasts an antique-inspired design and brass finish. It measures 6 inches tall and 3.5 inches across, and can hold a variety of picture frame sizes. Depending on the size of your frame, the easel can either peek out from the top or remain inconspicuous. In any case, it slightly raises any picture you want to accentuate, which is helpful if you’re trying to make a specific work the focal point of your decor display.

Despite its vintage look, the easel blends in with a wide variety of interior decor styles, and you can also set it just about anywhere. I think it would look especially inviting on an entryway table. I can just picture it surrounded by fresh flowers, a candle, some books — the styling choices are never-ending! And, at $32 for a timeless, all-brass frame holder, the price isn’t bad, either.

“I am using this to display my wedding photo album. It’s beautiful and perfect.” —Kathryn

“Perfect height, color, and functionality. I’ve looked for a similar stand for years at various stores, but this one checked off everything. Looks great with all my decor.” —Erin

“It was heavier than I thought it would be, which was great. It held a very heavy decorative plate very securely.” —Julie

Whether your photo display area could use some livening up or you have a picture of a special moment you want to highlight on your bookshelf, grab a shelf easel or two. It’s a unique accessory you’ll definitely want to keep for years to come, and you’ll wish you’d found it sooner.
