small antique pierced folding brass book stand lectern

Description

Dating to around 1880, this English Victorian book rest is smaller than many, perfect for that special book, perhaps a prayer book or smaller bible. It would also look perfect in the kitchen for recipe cards or again a smaller cookery book.
There are two semi-circular supports at the front which is where the book would sit and the pages held back with the green cord with solid brass ball weights. The cord is a replacement so in good order and ready to use.
The book-rest stands on a folding easel stand and is tightened with the use of the knob on the right hand side to adjust it's angle.
The front panel has an all-over pierced or reticulated decoration enhanced with a stamped fleur-de-lys style design.
Beautifully polished to gleam and in excellent condition; one tiny nibble from the top left hand corner, really not noticeable but mentioned for accuracy. The front measures 9 1/2" x 7 1/4" tall.
