CE 100 Easel

This is our flagship model and the very first one we built over 30 years ago. Patterned after an easel once used by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema and owned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, its basic form has remained the same but we have refined its many features over the years. The classic A-Frame design not only enables certain valuable functions, but also makes it incredibly stable. As you peruse the various details and specifications listed below, you will come to see why this model has been the preferred choice by the foremost conservation studios in this country and beyond.
