Folding Enamel Coated Brass Book Rest / Lectern, c.1890 Regency The bookplate to the pastedownA very fine brass book rest lectern, circa. late 19th Century. The rest is substantial in weight but of superbly useable proportions and folds flat, making it perfect for use as a cookbook stand or desk rest that will store in a drawer when not in use. The finely cast grill boasts tiny flowers, each crisply depicted. The original lead weights hand on two pieces of string. Fully adjustable from near 90 degree angle to flat.
