Stand - Wood

Rare and refined Italian olive wood table lectern, characterized by rich inlay decoration and a shaped crest. The piece is decorated with elaborate geometric, floral and ornamental motifs, achieved by combining different wood species and with refined geometric bordered motifs that recall the traditional Sorrento wood inlay. The upper part is embellished by an important shaped crest, at the center of which is fixed oval medallion, decorated with the depiction of a Eucharistic chalice surmounted by the IHS monogram, inserted within a floral composition. To the sides of the medallion are depicted ornamental vases with flowers, plant elements and birds, in keeping with the decorative taste typical of Italian travel and interior objects from the Sorrento tradition. The structure presents a special tilt-adjustable opening and a support system that allows the reading plane to be set at four different heights. Due to construction characteristics, use of olive wood, and the type of inlays, the piece is attributable to the tradition of Sorrento inlay, with an indicative dating between the late 19th and early 20th century. Conditions The lectern is overall in good condition, considering its age and the artisanal nature of the piece. They are present: * a slight crack in the inlaid part; * small localized losses of some inlay elements; * the oval medallion with the chalice is fixed; * the front reading plane/base where the book rests has been reproduced; * the olive wood structure is in excellent overall condition; * the original finish is preserved in good condition, with normal signs of wear and use; * one of the four feet is not original. All the defects and peculiarities noted above are visible in the photographs and must be considered part of the history and conservation of the object. Dimensions: width 31 x height 36 cm
