19th Century Adjustable Carved Oak Ecclesiastical Bible Stand with IHS Monogram
About the Item
Stunning church lectern for books or sheet music.
This beautifully hand-carved oak bookstand is a remarkable example of late 19th-century Gothic Revival ecclesiastical furniture, originating likely from the Low Countries. The piece features an intricately pierced top panel with flowing scrollwork, a shield-shaped IHS monogram (symbolizing the name of Jesus), and beneath the Christogram, a carved ribbon bears the Latin abbreviation “P.D.N.F.D.”, possibly referencing a liturgical phrase such as Per Dominum Nostrum Filium Dei, adding to the spiritual significance of the piece.
Designed for both functionality and symbolism, the bookrest is adjustable in height and angle, making it perfect for church services, ceremonial readings, or the display of sacred texts.
What truly sets this piece apart is its modular design: the upper carved bible holder can be unscrewed and used separately on a tabletop or altar, as shown in the final image. This provides flexibility for both permanent display and occasional use in different liturgical settings.
It stands on a solid cross-shaped base, reflecting ecclesiastical symbolism, and the finely turned central column ensures both stability and elegance.
Our fair price for this striking, rare, practical and good condition church stand even includes perfect packing (in a custom made box) and also worldwide shipping from our store to your door in just 4 days.
Maximum height (adjustable) x width x depth: 47 x 16.1 x 14.2 inches.
We are driven by a passion for uniqueness, timeless, quality, stylish design, and the enduring craftsmanship of the past. Every purchase is carefully and thoughtfully packed — and we look forward to serving you (again).
