Antique Hand Carved Oak Eagle Sculpture Church Bible Stand or Saint John Lectern

Price:$3,441.46

About the Item

Stylish and meaningful, Christian church relic referring to Saint John. For the collectors of rare and stylish church antiques we are also offering this remarkable bible stand. Even if you would not use this rare antique as a book or bible stand then it still is a highly decorative object with a deeper meaning. What makes this lectern stand out from all others ofcourse is the beautifully hand carved eagle sculpture. This particular specimen has a marvelous color/patina and a majestic look and feel. Since Saint John the Evangelist (author of the fourth gospel account and the book of Revelation) is symbolized by an eagle, this stand almost certainly refers to him. The royal eagle is a fitting symbol for Saint John the Evangelist, for the eagle is known for grace, strength, keenness of vision and powers of flight above all creatures. Christian scholars believe the eagle is capable of looking straight into the sun. This symbolizes that Christians should look on eternity without flinching as they journey towards their goal of union with God. Also because of an added metal weight in the base (original) this church lectern stands as strong and stable as the day it was handcrafted all those years ago. Mind you, our sharp price for this rare bible or book stand antique includes perfect packing and also worldwide shipping from our store to your door within 4 days. Maximum height x width x depth: 57.5 x 19.7 x 10.5 inches. Width x depth of the ridge where a bible or paper is placed on: 19.5 x 1.4 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish and meaningful and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again). You can shop all our 1000+ listings by pushing the button that reads 'View All From Seller'.
