About the Item

In the late 19th century, a splendid white and green lacquered wood Sicilian lectern was crafted, designed specifically to display and hold an old book with a touch of elegance and sophistication.This lectern is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of Sicilian artisans of that era. The design of the lectern reflects a blend of traditional Sicilian motifs and European influences prevalent during that period. At the top of the lectern is a slanted surface, specifically designed to hold open books for easy reading and viewing. The lectern's base is supported by elegantly carved legs that add to its stability and serve as a beautiful complement to the overall design. These legs, adorned with subtle white and green accents, elevate the lectern, allowing it to occupy a prominent place in any room where it is displayed. The late 19th-century Sicilian lectern is not only a practical piece of furniture but also a work of art that showcases the region's rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions.
