Antique English Oak Mission Book Bible Stand Lectern

This listing is for a wonderful antique oak Bible stand or lecturn that I purchased in a recent European container sale.  The sale had many religious artifacts from both England and Belgium, most from 1920-1940.

This stand is solid wood, 1 planks, with a light tone, natural finish (I believe it is oak) and was probably used in a chapel.  It has sturdy Mission styling and design and would be wonderful for a Bible or book stand or even a speaker or teacher podium.

The stand is 41 height;

Footprint on the floor, 18 x 18;

Top book rest width, 18;

Top book rest height, 7 ½;

Top book rest lip, 1 ½.

The stand is in good condition, structurally sound and visually appealing, with normal signs of age and use, scratches, dings, and other imperfections.  T are three peg holes on the top wood plank, w perhaps some type of ornamental trim was present at one time, but that trim has long since departed from the stand (see photos).

I only offer carefully selected quality pieces, and always provide multiple photos and written information. . Please keep in mind antique furniture should be purchased for its uniqueness, higher quality material and craftsmanship and antique patina, charm and character.
