Carved wooden lectern - Eagle. Italy, 19th century.

Carved wooden lectern - Eagle. Italy, 19th century. 88 x 55 x h 153 cm. Lectern entirely carved from wood, consisting of a circular base on three volute feet, a turned shaft with a top sphere and a figure of an eagle with spread wings. The eagle, rendered with attention to the detail of its plumage, is in the typical heraldic pose with its head turned three-quarters; the sphere on which its claws rest recalls the imperial and ecclesiastical iconography traditionally associated with this type of liturgical or library object. The quality of the carving, particularly evident in the feathers and anatomical parts of the bird, indicates a good level of craftsmanship in Italian manufacture from the 19th century.
