Antique & Rare, Wrought Iron Gothic Revival Floor Lectern / Bible and Book Stand

About the Item

Stunning and one of a kind church lectern / stand for a bible, book or sheet music. This Gothic Revival church floor stand from the earliest years of the 1900s is another perfect example of the quality and beauty of the handcrafted ecclesiastical items from that era. With the rubust, symmetrical and highly decorative tripod base, this rare antique not only stands strong and firm, it also is a real joy to look at. Especially the quatrefoil symbols and the Christian cross in the bookstand itself immediately tell you that this Medieval Style lectern is a Gothic Revival antique. Both in materials and in design, this unique stand truly is a rare sight to see. Add to that the quality of the hand-forged and thick wrought iron details and the patina and you will agree that this practical antique is ready to again be used in a church or monastery. Apart from one missing wrought iron rosette and some minor wear (consistent with age and use) this adjustable in height bible stand is as good as you could hope to find an antique of this age and rarity. We are proud to offer it to you (the 1stibs Community) in this good condition so that this majestic lectern soon will again be used where it was hand-crafted for in the first place. Besides adjustable in height, the bookstand itself can also be tilted (to a degree) via the original wingnut on the back (as shown in some of our images). Mind you, our fair price for this striking, rare, practical and good condition antique even includes perfect packing and also worldwide shipping from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days. Maximum height: 56.5 inches. Maximum width x depth of the tripod base: 20 x 17.5 inches. Maximum width x height of the plateau on which your bible rests: 16.4 x 14.6 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again).

  • Large Gothic Revival Medieval Wrought Iron & Cathedral Glass Pendant / Lantern
    Located in Lisse, NL
    All handcrafted, hexagonal Gothic light lantern. If you are a collector of rare and ancient looking Gothic antiques then this good size and possibly one of a kind pendant could be flying your way soon. With antique light fixtures as one of our specialties, we know how rare Gothic lanterns are and we are certain this fine specimen will find its way to a good home too. Also, because this all hand-crafted, Gothic Revival pendant completely original and in very good condition. The natural wear has only made this rare fixture more beautiful and its authentic, Medieval look and feel will never fail to impress. It may have originally hung in the entrance of a home in France or maybe above the main entrance of a medieval style chateau or castle, we are not sure. What we are quite certain of is that it is highly unlikely that we or you will ever find another one like it. The stylized Gothic rosettes above and below the Gothic church window-like panels in all six sides are just some of the wonderful features that make this work of lighting art so authentic and desirable. This light even comes with the original, antique cathedral glass...
