About the Item
This Antique Charles II Oak Bible Box, dating from c. 1660-1685, is a remarkable piece of early English furniture, showcasing the detailed craftsmanship and design aesthetics of the period. The oak has developed a beautiful patina over time, with the rich grain adding depth to the piece. The carved facade, with its intricate arches and repeating patterns, reflects the period’s emphasis on symmetry and ornate decoration, while the diamond-shaped escutcheon offers a refined touch amidst the robust design.
While the original snipe hinges were replaced at some point in history with the current forged strap hinges, the box still maintains its original functionality and charm. The hinged top opens to a spacious interior, designed for the storage of a Bible and other important items. The replacement of the hinges does not detract from the overall historical integrity of the piece, but rather serves as a testament to its enduring use and practicality. The sturdy, rectangular form, combined with the functional iron hardware, enhances the box’s utilitarian appeal.
The box is in excellent condition considering its age, with only minor signs of wear and age-related patina that add to its authenticity and charm. This Antique Charles II Oak Bible Box remains a stunning example of 17th-century craftsmanship, combining both beauty and function. It would make a distinctive and meaningful addition to any collection or home, offering a window into the past with its rich history and elegant design. 8h x 28w x 18d
