About the Item

This grand 18th-century german lectern is a striking example of religious craftsmanship, featuring a magnificently carved oak eagle, richly adorned with gilded gold leaf. Standing 210 cm tall, this imposing piece is both a functional and symbolic masterpiece, embodying centuries of spiritual tradition. The eagle, a powerful Christian symbol, represents the ability to gaze into the divine light, much like believers contemplating the Revelation of God’s word. Known as the highest-flying bird, it signifies proximity to heaven, the transmission of sacred teachings, and even the Resurrection. It is also the emblem of Saint John the Apostle, whose Gospel soars to great theological heights. With a 65 cm width and 60 cm depth, this exceptional lectern is ideal for churches, chapels, or collectors of sacred art, offering both historical significance and grandeur. A rare piece that captures the essence of faith, craftsmanship, and the enduring beauty of german 3religious artistry.
