19th Century French Forged Iron Music Stand Lectern with Fleur-de-Lys Decor

Featuring intricate scrollwork and traditional Gothic detailing, this antique double-sided music stand is a fine example of 19th-century French iron craftsmanship. Crafted in France circa 1880, the tall lectern, or lutrin in French, is constructed of hand-forged iron and stands on a sturdy tripod base with three gracefully curved legs terminating in flattened feet. The slender central stem is embellished with decorative collars and turned details, rising to support a double-sided book holder designed to accommodate sheet music, a Bible, or other large books. Each side features an openwork arrangement of scrolling volutes and symmetrical wrought iron motifs, framed within a trapezoidal structure with a slanted reading surface.

The antique music stand is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, retaining a rich black patinated finish with subtle gilt accents that highlight the handcrafted details.
