About

Bring Gothic elegance to a study, library, or music room with this refined antique French wrought iron lectern, or lutrin, crafted circa 1880. The double-sided stand is forged entirely from solid iron and showcases intricate hand-worked scrollwork framing a central fleur-de-lis motif, subtly highlighted with gilt accents that add depth and visual contrast against the dark patinated surface; it is further dressed with retractable candle holders. The angled lectern panel swivels to allow use from either side, making it ideal as a music stand, reading stand, or display piece. It is supported by a twisted central stem set above a sculptural tripod base with arched legs terminating in hoof-like feet, a detail frequently associated with late 19th century French Gothic and ecclesiastical ironwork. The fleur-de-lis finial and rhythmic iron flourishes evoke French heraldic tradition, while the hand-hammered construction and richly aged patina reinforce the authenticity and character of this antique object. Both decorative and functional, this sculptural wrought iron lutrin would make a striking accent in a music room, chapel-inspired interior, or traditional study, and remains in excellent condition commensurate with age and use. Dimensions: 33″W x 19.25″D x 61.5″H
