Description
A late Victorian solid oak reading table bookstand by Liberty of London, the sloping reading top set over an open shelf above a lower platform fitted with a rear retaining gallery and flanked by Moorish turned lattice panels, united by a turned lower stretcher and raised on ring-turned legs retaining their original castors.
Designed by Leonard Wyburd for Liberty & Co, the piece was conceived as an informal mobile lectern of sorts to hold reference volumes or folios at a comfortable angle. Its shallow rectangular footprint makes it exceptionally versatile, resting neatly against a hall or library wall or serving as a moveable companion alongside a reading armchair.
Very good antique condition, the solid oak retaining a rich patina with minor surface marks and honest historic wear consistent with age. Structurally sound and ready to place in the home.
English, circa 1900.
