Pair of Early Book Stands Carved as Doves

Description

Books are laid open across the backs of the doves’ wings, supported by the giltwood scrolled element atop the doves’ tails (as shown in the images). The pair most likely were made to accommodate New and Old Testament readings in a church. Sold together and priced as a pair for $7,800.
