Product description
We present this majestic antique Italian lectern, crafted from solid walnut and dating back to the early 19th century.
Featuring a pyramid-shaped upper section crowned by a decorative turned wooden finial, it is ideal for double-sided use. It offers two slanted sides for holding books, missals, or sheet music. The base of the slanted shelves features a contoured bookend to prevent volumes from slipping. The two open sides create a curious and decorative internal niche. A turned vertical axis connects the upper section to the base. A circular tabletop provides additional support at mid-height. At the bottom, three curved supports extend outward for stability. A decorative carved ring joins the three legs at their point of maximum convergence. The feet rest on a contoured triangular base raised off the ground.
A lectern with unparalleled historical charm that can now be placed in a variety of settings: a study, a book room, a living room to display an important collectible book, or a public space where it could be used for rallies, assemblies, or meetings.
The lectern is in good condition with signs of wear consistent with its age.
