A beautifully weighty antique brass lectern with some patina and ornate detailing throughout. This piece features a hinged, angled top designed to hold books, artwork, or framed ephemera—perfect for shelf styling, a desk vignette, or atop a console where you want a little drama and height. You can even use it as a riser. The cast brass base is heavily decorated with scrolling vines and floral motifs, resting on claw-style feet that give it an old-world gravitas. It makes an incredible display stand for cookbooks, antique books, artwork, or even as a unique pedestal for styling objects. Measurements:15.5" wide x 15.5" deep x 16.25" tall (when upright) Condition Notes:Beautiful aged patina throughout, consistent with age. Some of the legs have slight looseness and need tightened, but the piece remains sturdy, solid, and securely supports its weight. A striking, functional statement piece—equal parts decorative and practical.
