Taken from an eBay offering, this is a great photo reference to share.
A rough translation is "Tables for gramophones".

Nice lines. Does the hardware too reflect art nouveau design?gramophone78 wrote:Here is a European (Swiss) record cabinet that was made for Paillard machine's.

Oh too bad. I would have liked to have grabbed that one. Anyway I have the images so thanks for posting. I could maybe find one here with a fern on top if I pay attention.

Re: European Gramophone Stands - Cabinets
I saw this on ebay after it posted and I bought it. The price was cheap, $8.00 with free shipping. I sent out payment and should get it soon. It was too cool to resist. I really love European machines. I think they have a lot of class and personality. I live in near Seattle WA, and a lot of European machine come here from Canada.

I love a high quality scan if you are able. I could actually find one of those stands in my neighborhood if I were really lucky!

In his book "Collecting Phonographs and Gramophones" (ISBN 0 289 70883 4) Christopher Proudfoot, speaking of the G&T Senior Monarch, gives this wise advice which applies to other machines as well :
"The matching pedestal was an optional extra, and is worth looking out in secondhand furniture shops, where it's true purpose may be unrecognised.

Re: European Gramophone Stands - Cabinets
When I get this card, I will have one of the guys take pictures and post this to the forum. I am not that good with computers. In the back of the card is a picture of a large disk music box. The OTAPS meeting will be in October, and I will have pictures of both sides made.

Re: European Gramophone Stands - Cabinets
Here are two nice additions to this thread...

Ernest Pike (English tenor) standing beside a G&T Sheraton gramophone, c. 1907, photo from a record sleeve of one of the Zonophone grand opera series.

Here, the original base sits on a large ebonised pedestal with green moulded panels, suitably weighted to keep it upright. The wonderful ironwork arm is a reconstruction as virtually no original examples exist and holds a 48” horn.
Sadly, for all the effort that went into its construction, it failed to catch on. Introduced in 1903-4, The Gramophone Company’s London sales office had to report that it was ‘unable to dispose of’ the 22 in stock!

Oh, look here too...
