This beautiful and unusual piece is an antique carved oak bible box or writing box, upon a stand. These boxes were traditionally used in the 17th and early 18th centuries to store family Bibles, important documents, or writing materials. The detailed chip-carved geometric motifs on the front are characteristic of that period’s folk carving traditions.
The box features a charming aged patina, original iron lock plate (with original key), and a lift-top lid.
This item is perfect for:
• Antique lovers
