Victorian Mahogany Lectern

This gorgeous mahogany lectern was crafted from Cuban mahogany in Victorian England around 1960. Today, the mahogany remains as beautiful as ever, with a lovely patina, a rich complexion, and a pronounced grain that are sure to look great in any setting. The desk section actually sits into the frame that holds it up, so movement is incredibly easy. The central panel lifts up to reveal a large, interior storage area, while a small drawer on the right opens on the right for even more space. Each of the corners on this lectern features hand-cut dovetails, as does the single drawer; dovetails are unusual on exteriors, even for Victorian period pieces, so this is good sign of high quality. However, this lectern has developed some superficial wood separations in the top; these separations are natural and inevitable for all solid wood furniture, since they are part of the wood's "breathing" process. There is also a general complement of superficial wear marks and scuffs, although the lectern has been refinished recently so the wear doesn't detract from the beauty of this lectern. Overall condition is therefore very good.
