About the Item
A large carved and gilded wooden eagle lectern, from Wales, c. 1830, for ecclesiastical use - such as sermons and religious readings - in churches, chapels, and places of worship.
The finely sculpted eagle, with outstretched wings, adorned with gold leaf, set upon a column pedestal with a square base, featuring richly gilded acanthus leaf decoration and lion's feet.
The eagle can be rotated 360 degrees with the gaze pointed directly at parishioners. The lectern stand on the reverse of the eagle, allowing for a sizable book or folio.
A much sought-after piece for collectors of sacred art.
The eagle, a traditional 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, as well as the Resurrection.
It is also the emblem of Saint John the Apostle, whose Gospel soars to great theological heights.
