{"product_id":"scottish-bible-box","title":"Early 19th Century Scottish Bible Box on Stand","description":"\u003cp\u003eEarly 19th-century Bible box on stand, c.1820–1840, most likely Scottish or Northern English. A well-proportioned example with a sloping lift lid, carved frieze and panelled sides, raised on a later but sympathetic stand. Originally used to store the family Bible and associated papers, it now works equally well as a compact side table or hall piece. Good colour and surface throughout with honest wear consistent with age and use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"601\" data-start=\"590\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-end=\"1252\" data-start=\"603\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"647\" data-start=\"603\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"613\" data-start=\"605\"\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early 19th century, c.1820–1840\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"701\" data-start=\"648\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"661\" data-start=\"650\"\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Probably Scottish or Northern English\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"756\" data-start=\"702\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"718\" data-start=\"704\"\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid oak with carved decoration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"803\" data-start=\"757\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"774\" data-start=\"759\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e W 66.5cm x H 88cm x D 43cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"961\" data-start=\"804\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"826\" data-start=\"806\"\u003eCondition notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Structurally sound.
