Solid mahogany wood construction went into this table-top book stand (or lecturn); mortise and tenon face frame, frame and panel back, and tongue and grooved top comprise most of the joinery. It features a hinged lid for a small storage area, velvet lined drawers made of cherry, and solid brass handles for ease of moving the stand. The book in the photo is "Pilgrim's Progress" by John Bunyan. |
