About the Item

Hand-carved in three sections (the double-sided platform, the turned shaft, and the robust scrolled base), this French music lectern, or lutrin, dates to circa 1700. A combination of walnut and pine woods, the lectern has a rich dark brown patina, with some areas of a lighter honey color. The double-sided slant-top platform rotates around the turned shaft, which slots into an open roundel stretcher that connects four scrolls which hang below the thick ledges of the dais. Both sides of the platform are pierced, with a shaped cutout set between the undulating platform edges. The base is stout, comprised of four volute feet, each topped by tightly wound scrolls (although one is missing). Our carved walnut and pine lectern would make a fascinating music sheet holder or a fine art display.

Large Antique Wrought Iron and Bronze Double Sided Lectern from France, 19th C.
Located in Dallas, TX
Known as a lutrin in France, this double-sided lectern is highly scrolled and pierced, making a unique and beautiful dais. The imposing French lutrin is comprised of wrought iron with some bronze embellishments (finials and roundel joineries) and dates to the 1800s, although the double-sided platform was added more recently based on the varying patina and welded construction (the bottom is pinned). An amazing, banded arabesque of scrolls and counter curves emanate from an open roundel, forming the double-sided slant-top platform. The platform is designed to swivel on a rod that runs through it; a ball finial tops the rod, flanked by a pair of Vitruvian waves that form a majestic crest. There is an arbalete edge that extends off both sides of the platform, providing a stable base for holding music...
