This Jacobean style antique Bible box on stand sits at 61 cm high, 58.5 cm wide, and 40.5 cm deep. Constructed from dark brown oak with an iron clasp, the box portion dates to circa 1750 and features hand-carved lunettes on the front panel alongside a lift-up lid. The later Victorian stand supports the piece with bobbin-turned legs and an X-frame stretcher. Today, this dark brown storage item suits placement in a fireplace alcove as a functional display or side table in an English Country House interior. The timber shows visible grain patterns across the rectangular top and raised panels, while the sturdy frame includes a central metal escutcheon on the front apron and simple round feet beneath the turned uprights.

FAQs

A bible box on stand is a portable wooden storage chest mounted on legs, originally created during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries to protect family bibles, manuscripts, and legal documents.

Traditional bible boxes were constructed predominantly from solid English oak, often featuring hand-carved front panels, iron hinges, wrought-iron lock plates, and turned wood legs.

Authentic period pieces exhibit signs of historic hand-tooling, such as pegged mortise and tenon joints, hand-carved decorative motifs, uneven underside surfaces, and natural patination around original ironwork.

An oak bible box on stand functions as an accent piece in a hallway, entryway, or alcove, providing contrast alongside contemporary minimalist artwork and neutral stone or plastered walls.

Clean the surface with a soft, lint-free cloth, and apply a beeswax polish annually to protect the wood grain, keeping the item away from direct heat sources and excessive moisture.
