Small Antique Pierced Folding Brass Book Stand / Lectern

19th century
Sold by Puckerings
Description

Dating to around 1880, this English Victorian book rest is smaller than many, perfect for that special book, perhaps a prayer book or smaller bible. It would also look perfect in the kitchen for recipe cards or again a smaller cookery book.

There are two semi-circular supports at the front which is where the book would sit and the pages held back with the green cord with solid brass ball weights. The cord is a replacement so in good order and ready to use.

The book-rest stands on a folding easel stand and is tightened with the use of the knob on the right hand side to adjust it's angle.

The front panel has an all-over pierced or reticulated decoration enhanced with a stamped fleur-de-lys style design.

Beautifully polished to gleam and in excellent condition; one tiny nibble from the top left hand corner, really not noticeable but mentioned for accuracy. The front measures 9 1/2" x 7 1/4" tall.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
