georigan oak bible box on stand

Circa 1720, oak bible box on stand in the form of a bureau. The hinged flap has wonderful patination and old repairs, and opens to reveal a simple interior with some pigeon holes and small drawers. The front has a deep frieze carved with stylised scrolls and circles, and the initials AB 1719 which is probably when it was made. The whole piece stands on elegant turned legs joined by stretchers. The feet have been raised slightly perhaps to make it a more accommodating height for the owner. Beautiful mellow colour and patina.

Georgian Antiques

Georgian Antiques was founded in 1978 by John Dixon's brother Padriac in a small shop at Jocks Lodge, Meadowbank in Edinburgh, with John joining the business after finishing college in 1981. The business grew so rapidly, they couldn't keep up with their inventory needs. Their goal has been to create a one-stop-shop where designers can complete an entire project from antique lighting to antique furniture to accessories. Scotland's largest antiques warehouse is located in a converted whiskey bond in historic Leith Edinburgh. With 50,000sq ft over five floors we offer a wide range of quality Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian furniture, as well as continental and small decorative items. Our stock is constantly changing.
