Description:
Antique English Oak Mission Book Bible Chapel Stand
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.
