Details
A wonderful Arts & Crafts oak lectern, reading stand, dating from the early 20th century,
Crafted in solid oak with a beautifully aged patina, the stand features an adjustable sloping top and a discreet drawer beneath, combining simple utility with the honest craftsmanship associated with the Arts & Crafts movement. Exposed pegged joints and a rich, timeworn finish add to its appeal.
Whilst originally designed as a reading stand, today it lends itself particularly well to commercial interiors. It would make an excellent front-of-house display for a restaurant, café, wine bar, hotel, gallery or independent shop, ideal for presenting menus, welcome information, seasonal displays, guest books or promotional material. Its sculptural form creates an immediate focal point without occupying a large footprint.
Equally at home in a study, library or reading corner, this is a versatile and increasingly hard-to-find piece that bridges the gap between antique furniture and contemporary display.
