The Lecterns

Having the original shop drawings for the lecterns, even though they were revised later, was something of a surprise. I printed them out full scale and have them on my wall in the office. However, they are of no help on the restoration end!  

These pieces are surprisingly heavy and yet are delicate to look at and touch. The bottom of the bases, as seen in the photo, is where the work is. Love these pieces. Sculpted only in the way FLW worked his furniture.
