A mahogany Lectern or Book Stand that folds down into its box, with brass carrying handles.
The top of the box is made from two pieces of wood with wide cleats to the sides. It has a fixed bar, with a moulded edge, to support a box or music sheets etc. The top is raised on two rachets, which fold down into the box when not in use. The top ratchet can be set to three different positions whilst the bottom one has a choice of five positions. Having two ratchets allows the stand to be used at a variety of different heights and angles.
Although relatively plain, this portable Lectern Box would have been very useful for reading books etc. and could also be used for a tablet. Early 19th Century.
