Circa 1890 English Antique Leather and Brass Bound Family Bible by John Eadie.

19th century
Description

A very ornately bound copy of the "Holy Bible: The National Comprehensive Family Bible, with the commentaries of Scott and Henry, and containing also many thousand critical and explanatory notes selected from the great authors of Europe and America. The commentaries condensed, and the whole edited by the late Rev. John Eadie, D.D., LL.D."

Published by Henry Williams & Co. of Stroud Green N.

A large heavy embossed and gilded English full leather bound family bible with ribbed spine, recessed and embossed gilt embellished cartouche to front, four very ornate pierced and engraved gilt brass corners with red leather inserts behind to accent the piercing, and closed with two ornately engraved brass clasps. Page edges are also beautifully gilt.

Approximately 1250 pages including both coloured and black and white plates, biblical scenes and maps, an illuminated title page, and a coloured plate of the Our Father prayer in 14 languages. Also, a portrait album (without portraits), and family register.

Condition is very good, with only some foxing to some pages.

10.5 inches wide by 13.25 inches high, by 3.25 inches deep.

Binding, clasps and corners are all tight and secure.

A lovely and collectable bible to use or display. The unusually beautiful heavy embossed leather and ornate gilt brass binding makes a wonderful presentation.

Declaration

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
