Antique Bible Box Table, Estate Decor

Picture a low-beamed country parlor: kettle singing, wet wellies by the door, a battered pine chest by the settle holding the family Bible, marriage lines, and last year’s seed packets. That’s the feeling this darling piece brings. Our warmly patinated pine Bible box—boarded, pegged, dovetail-style joined—now perches on a later custom stand that lifts it to perfect cottage table height. Set a lamp, a posy of garden roses, or the evening pot of tea atop; secret bits & bobs tuck neatly inside. English cottage charm with a Texas find’s heart—what a match.

It has aged character throughout: surface marks, shrinkage lines, color variation, and scattered dings appropriate to an antique pine chest. Finish variation between older box & newer stand (the contrast is part of the layered-cottage look). Lid opens and closes smoothly; interior clean. Structurally sturdy—made to live with, not tiptoe around.

Y'all know I love pieces that are as functional as they are fantastic, so here are some ways to give a knod to English cottage charm:

• Use it by the bed in the guest bedroom: Stack a floral shade lamp + a teacup; tuck spare reading specs & lavender sachets inside.
• Garden Room Drop-Spot: Store seed envelopes, garden snips (use a liner), and note which roses took.
• Parish-Hall Entry Moment: Catch post & dog leads; top with a Staffordshire spaniel pair for instant charm.

 It measures 25.5” tall x 17” wide. 

It was acquired at the same posh Waco estate as the Italian Florentine Baroque Style Giltwood Mirror with Hand-Painted Romantic Scene... This along with the barley twist Bible box table were in an amazing library. 

Pieces like this are why I love Sourcing the South and the great state of Texas for vintage and antique heirloom estate decor is my favorite thing to do...shopping estate sales, online auctions, charity thrift stores, and antique malls to carefully curate a collection of fantastic finds that have and will stand the test of time.
