Monumental Bronze Eagle Lectern Sculpture .. Symbol of Saint John the Evangelist, Church Relic, ca. 1900
For the true connoisseur of ecclesiastical antiques and meaningful design, this remarkable bronze eagle sculpture offers a rare opportunity to own an object that is both spiritually symbolic and visually commanding.
Originally crafted as a Bible lectern for the altar of a Christian church, this piece likely represents Saint John the Evangelist, whose symbol throughout church tradition is the eagle .. soaring high with vision, clarity, and divine inspiration. The eagle, known for its strength and ability to look directly into the sun, symbolizes how Christians are called to keep their eyes fixed on eternity and the divine.
What sets this piece apart is its magnificent patina, heraldic posture, and the sheer quality of the bronze casting. The finely detailed feathers, proud stance, and expressive energy radiate timeless beauty and spiritual significance. Even without its original reading platform, this eagle stands as a powerful decorative statement .. a sculptural focal point that elevates any interior.
Whether you're a collector of rare religious artifacts or simply drawn to historically meaningful objects of design, this piece delivers both depth and style.
Mind you, our sharp price for this rare antique also includes perfect packing and worldwide shipping from our store to your door within 4 days.
