Antique 18th Century Oak Bible Box

18th century
Description

A charming antique 18th century oak Bible box of traditional rectangular form, constructed in oak and retaining a rich, untouched colour and patina developed over centuries of use. The hinged plank top opens to reveal a spacious interior. To the front, the box retains its original iron lock plate and clasp. The front is also carved with the initials "T I". A honest and characterful example, displaying attractive grain throughout and all the charm expected of an early country-made oak piece.

Item Reference:

M-6964

.

Dimensions:

Height – 25cm / Width – 68.5cm / Depth – 40cm

CONDITION REPORT:

In good antique condition throughout with age-related wear consistent with use. There are surface marks, scratches and minor imperfections to the timber, together with a historic split to the back right-hand corner of the lid which has been repaired and is solid. The original iron lock plate and clasp remain in place, although no key is present. Overall, the box is structurally sound with a rich colour and pleasing patina.

Our experienced carpenter thoroughly inspects, repairs and restores each item in our collection to ensure it is fully prepared for use in your home. For a clear and accurate understanding of each item's condition, we ask that you carefully review all provided photos. These images are an essential part of the description and condition report, offering important visual details regarding the item's appearance and quality.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

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

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

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.

FAQs

An oak bible box is a small, portable wooden chest produced primarily during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries to store family Bibles, valuable documents, and writing implements.

These boxes were typically constructed from solid native oak using pegged joinery or rebate joints, secured with iron hinges and a hand-forged iron lock plate.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-planed interior surfaces, original iron wire or strap hinges, hand-forged lock mechanisms, and naturally oxidised oak timber with historic wear around keyholes.

An antique bible box functions well placed atop a sideboard, console table, or deep window sill, offering functional storage for modern desk accessories while adding historical tone.

Preserve the original timber finish by dusting regularly with a dry cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish once or twice a year, avoiding placement near direct heat sources.
