Handsome Family Bible, Victorian Leather, Rev. John Brown, Brass Clasp, Gilt Tooled, 19th Century, 1800's!
An impressive Victorian leather-bound family Bible attributed to the late Rev. John Brown, dating to the 19th century. This substantial volume features richly tooled leather covers with elaborate gilt decoration, along with raised bands to the spine and original brass mounts and clasps.
The front board is finely decorated with a central gilt panel reading “The Holy Scriptures”, surrounded by intricate Victorian ornamentation. Internally, the Bible is printed in double-column format and includes typical scriptural text with period layout and typography.
This is a classic example of a Victorian family Bible, intended as both a religious text and a centerpiece object within the home—often passed down through generations.
