A Victorian cast iron church book rests by Osborne Garrett & Co. Featuring beautifully cast Gothic Revival openwork panels with foliate decoration and retaining the maker's name cast into the upper edge. Raised on elegant architectural supports with decorative rosette motifs, the stands were designed to support hymn books, prayer books, or large ecclesiastical texts. Likely originating from a church or chapel, they retain a wonderfully aged painted finish and display the quality and craftsmanship associated with late 19th-century architectural ironwork. A striking and unusual pair with both decorative and practical appeal.
