Important lectern with eagle in gilded and polychrome wood

The golden eagle with its stern gaze and outstretched wings rests on a large hand-carved sphere. Between its claws the biblical serpent, symbol of evil, is defeated.

It rests on an imposing sculpted and lacquered base.

With a hinged wrought iron grip handle to allow lateral swivel.

He has his candle sticks in order to practice the office in the darkness of the religious building.

The eagle is the animal symbol of Saint John the Evangelist (called the Eagle of Patmos, from the name of the Greek island where, under house arrest, he wrote his epistles and the book of Revelation).

An unusual lectern undoubtedly ordered by the churchwarden of an important parish under the Ancien Régime.

18th century period.
