Description
Early 18th century Oak Bible Box. Sloped top. 3 Iron hinges. With slope
These boxes, also called desk boxes or slope did not necessarily contain a bible. They may contain paperwork or small items as their counterpart the coffer would contain larger items.
Backs were plain as they would be placed against a surface and not seen whereas the front would often be carved with traditional patterns. Locks and metal straps would be fitted to keep valuables safe, as houses were more public places at that time.
This bible box was constructed and has survived during this time. As useful and functional then as it is now. It would fit into any interior whether traditional or modern as a focal point or part of a collection. An exceptional piece of furniture with a fascinating history.
