About the Item

Crafted in France circa 1890, this antique Gothic “Lutrin” (French for lectern) is a superb example of 19th-century ecclesiastical design blended with decorative artistry. Standing on three gracefully curved legs, the tall straight stem features turned decorative rings that add rhythm and vertical balance to the silhouette. The book rest is adorned with finely hand-forged ironwork, showcasing a prominent central Fleur-de-Lys framed by scrolling motifs in each corner, all highlighted with subtle gilt accents. Designed for both function and beauty, the lectern includes a swivel mechanism to adjust the reading angle, and a lower lip to support a Bible, music book, or manuscript. Flanking the central panel, two retractable candle holders extend outward on twisted iron arms, offering elegant illumination for reading or choral use in dimly lit settings. In excellent condition commensurate with age and use, the piece retains a rich patinated black finish that enhances its sculptural presence. Disassemblable into two parts for convenience, this decorative and functional stand makes a distinctive statement in libraries, music rooms, sanctuaries, or refined interiors seeking Old World charm and craftsmanship. 28”W x 16”D x 54.5”H
