Mabef M/22 French Sketch Box Easel crafted in Italy from oiled, stain-resistant beechwood. This versatile field easel features a tripod design with adjustable legs for uneven terrain and a sliding drawer with a metal-lined tray for organizing paints and brushes. So portable and perfect for painting or drawing on-site. Easy to set up and take down. Hardware is wood craftsmanship is supurb. It includes a folding canvas holder that can be adjusted to various angles, including flat for watercolor work. The portable design folds into a compact briefcase style with a leather handle for easy transport. Please note that the L-shaped brass rod canvass holder (top) was replaced with a galvanized rod, as shown in last photo. I work very hard to provide excellent photos for honest and complete disclosure of condition.
