Carved oak lectern with eagle covered in gold leaf

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.

Pair of Tall Eagle Lecterns, Bronze, Etc, 16th Century and Later

Located in Madrid, ES

Pair of easels in the shape of an eagle. Bronze, iron. 16th-17th century. Rear supports. Pair of lecterns with tripod-shaped bases, claw-shaped legs with spheres, and a triangular part from which three baluster-shaped legs emerge, with elements in light tones that join at the top of this piece , leaving a vegetal form towards the lower area. The finials are two eagles on spheres, each looking to the side with its head tilted upwards, and situated with its wings half spread; the back is smooth, without the details of the feathers, eyes, beak and claws that do show in the front. The eagles could be from the Spanish school or from the Netherlands, dating from the 16th-17th centuries, while the bases are from the 20th century. It seems that, at least in Spain, the spread of tall lecterns...
