Wooden lectern from Italy, estimated period 1980–1990, with an inclined surface for documents and a central drawer; dimensions 35 cm wide, 25 cm deep and 10 cm high.
Description from the seller
This wooden lectern, typical of the second half of the 20th century, exudes a serene elegance that blends practicality with decorative presence. The structure, crafted in warm, well-aged wood, features a tilted surface designed to showcase documents, sheets, or certificates, protected by a fold-down frame that opens smoothly. The interior is lined with retro-inspired papers, decorated with filigrees and classic motifs that evoke the aesthetics of old offices, where every object had a purpose and a character.
At the bottom, a central drawer fits precisely into the unit, offering a discreet space to store stationery, mementos, or small tools. The metal hardware, with its slightly darkened patina, adds an artisanal touch that underscores the intention to craft a durable piece, designed to accompany its owner for years.
The varnish, applied in moderation, allows the natural grain of the wood to show and gives it a restrained shine, typical of mid-20th-century desk objects, when functionality coexisted with a taste for the classical. Taken together, the lectern conveys the impression of being a well-kept object, with history, capable of adding warmth and personality to any space where it is placed.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
