Brown’s Self-Interpreting Bible. The Holy Bible, Containing the Old and New Testaments,  According to the Authorized Versions. With an Introduction: Marginal References and Readings;  Explanatory Notes and Reflections. By the Rev. John Brown, of Haddington. And Many Thousand Additional Notes by the Rev. Henry Cooke, D.D., LL.D., President, Assembly’s College, Belfast. Re-Edited, with Considerable Additions by the Rev. J. L. Porter, D.D., LL.D., Professor of Biblical Criticism, Assembly’s College, Belfast. Illustrated by Historical Designs and Scenes from Bible Lands. London: The Gresham Publishing Company, circa 1880s. Large quarto, with original full leather carved and gilt tooled boards, all edges gilt, and metal clasps. Presented with a custom-made archival clamshell box with gilt tooling. Presented is a beautifully restored and exquisitely bound Brown’s Self-Interpreting Family Bible. Brown’s Self-Interpreting Family Bible was first published in 1778 in two volumes in Edinburgh. The Self-Interpreting Bible was Reverend Brown's most significant work and it remained in print well into the twentieth century. Although undated, this family bible was published by The Gresham Publishing Company, in London, circa 1880. Reverend John Brown (1722-1787) was a Scottish Minister of the Gospel at Haddington. He wrote numerous works on the bible, including The Dictionary of the Bible, A General History of the Christian Church, and Brown’s Self-Interpreting Family Bible, as seen here. The design of the Self-Interpreting Bible, Brown explained in the original preface, was “to present the labours of the best commentators in a manner that might best comport with the ability and leisure of the poorer and labouring part of mankind, and especially to render the oracles of God their own interpreter.” Thus, the work contains a thorough history, chronology, geography, and summary, as well as explanatory notes and reflections, on the Bible, both the Old and New Testaments. As this was printed as a “self-interpreting” bible, many of these notes occur in the margins, next to the pertaining scripture. This bible is further elucidated by upwards of eight thousand explanatory and critical notes by the Reverend Henry Cooke, D.D., LL.D., a minister of the Presbyterian Church and President of Assembly’s College in Belfast. It was further edited and notated by Reverend J. L. Porter, D.D., LL.D., a Professor of Biblical Criticism at Assembly’s College in Belfast. A publisher’s advertisement for Brown’s Self-Interpreting Family Bible was printed in the January-July 1880 issue of The American Bookseller journal. The advertisement claims, “Brown’s Self-Interpreting Bible is widely and most favorably known on both sides of the Atlantic. It is pre-eminently A Family Bible, suitable alike for all the members of the household and particularly Helpful in explaining difficult passages, and admirably adapted to promote a Devotional spirit. Also, its unusually Clear Type makes it an excellent Book for Pulpit use...

19th-Century Russian Orthodox Crucifixion Icon with Extensive Church Slavonic Inscriptions A deeply atmospheric and finely detailed 19th-century Russian Orthodox icon depicting the Crucifixion of Christ, executed in the traditional Byzantine manner with extensive Church Slavonic inscriptions and an unusually decorative turquoise and gilt border evocative of cloisonné enamelwork. The icon presents Christ crucified upon a dark wooden cross, flanked by the mourning figures of the Virgin Mary and Saint John the Theologian, all rendered with elongated proportions and solemn devotional expression characteristic of Russian icon painting of the period. The arched upper register bears the title “Распятие Господне” Translated: “The Crucifixion of the Lord.” The cross plaque is inscribed with “І.Н. Ц.І.” The Church Slavonic equivalent of INRI, translating to the following: “Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews.” Above Christ appears the sacred Christogram. “ІС ХС” Translated: “Jesus Christ.” Additional inscriptions include: “ЦРЬ СЛВЫ” Translated: “King of Glory.” and likely: “СЫН БОЖИЙ” Translated: “Son of God.” The Virgin is identified by the traditional Greek abbreviation "MR. ΘΥ.” Meaning: “Mother of God.” while Saint John is inscribed. “СТЫ ИОАНН БОГОСЛОВ” Translated: “Saint John the Theologian.” The richly ornamented border with geometric floral motifs provides exceptional decorative presence, uncommon among more austere provincial examples. The reverse retains an old typed collection or import label reading, “Russian Icon of the Crucifixion, 14 in. by 12 in., 19th Century," along with an apparent 1971 import or inventory date stamp, suggesting the work entered the United States through an early dealer, estate, or ecclesiastical collection. Presented on traditional joined wood panel construction with horizontal butons. Surface wear, craquelure, scattered paint losses, edge wear, and age-related abrasions are present throughout and should be viewed as consistent with the devotional use, age, and authenticity of the icon rather than defects. These surfaces contribute to the deeply timeworn spiritual character prized in antique Orthodox icons...

French Polychrome Terracotta Church Console, France, circa 1850. Salvaged from a historic chapel prior to its demolition, this exceptional architectural element is crafted from high-quality terracotta rather than plaster, making it a rare and highly durable example of 19th-century French ecclesiastical craftsmanship. Richly hand-painted in its original polychrome finish, the console features a medieval-inspired niche that recalls the artistic traditions of the pre-Renaissance period, bringing remarkable depth, color, and historical character to the piece. Originally created as a devotional wall console for displaying a religious sculpture or sacred object, this architectural fragment now offers outstanding decorative potential in both traditional and contemporary interiors. Whether installed in an entryway, library, living room, or curated collection of architectural antiques, it creates a striking focal point while preserving the authentic spirit of its original setting. The console remains in good original condition, with its vibrant historic paint largely intact. Minor losses and signs of age are consistent with its history and have been intentionally preserved rather than restored, allowing the piece to retain its genuine patina and undeniable authenticity. A specialized wall-mounting system may be required to ensure secure installation. Architectural fragments of this quality are increasingly sought after by collectors, interior designers, and enthusiasts of French Gothic Revival, religious art, and European architectural antiques...
