About the Item
A stunning 18th century iron lectern from France, intended to be used on the altar to display a large Bible during mass that the priest would read from. This is an instant conversation starter in any space because of its great height (at over seven feet tall) and beautiful details! Topped with a pointed cross, accented in gold and scrolling details, the display has the ability to turn 360 degrees. At each side is an adjustable candle holder in working condition. Gilt details from centuries past cling to the worn iron, adding to the exceptional patina. The scrolling pedestal base is ornamented with hammered acanthus leaves. A sturdy wooden tripodal base rests on metal casters, allowing this piece to become mobile; perfect to be placed in the center of a room to be enjoyed by all angles whether displaying artwork, books, or sheet music. Make sure to view the detailed images for a closer look.

Large Antique Wrought Iron and Bronze Double Sided Lectern from France, 19th C.
Located in Dallas, TX
Known as a lutrin in France, this double-sided lectern is highly scrolled and pierced, making a unique and beautiful dais. The imposing French lutrin is comprised of wrought iron with some bronze embellishments (finials and roundel joineries) and dates to the 1800s, although the double-sided platform was added more recently based on the varying patina and welded construction (the bottom is pinned).
An amazing, banded arabesque of scrolls and counter curves emanate from an open roundel, forming the double-sided slant-top platform. The platform is designed to swivel on a rod that runs through it; a ball finial tops the rod, flanked by a pair of Vitruvian waves that form a majestic crest. There is an arbalete edge that extends off both sides of the platform, providing a stable base for holding music...
