Description

A beautiful and highly decorative antique Holy Bible, bound in richly embossed black leather with elaborate gilt detailing to both spine and covers.

Likely dating to the mid-to-late 19th century, this Victorian edition is a fine example of ecclesiastical bookbinding craftsmanship, featuring raised bands to the spine and the phrase “The Word of the Lord Endureth Forever” in a gilt cartouche on the front.

The leather boards are adorned with intricate blind-stamped floral and scrollwork borders, and the spine is divided into gilt panels with ornate foliate designs and the title “Holy Bible” clearly displayed in gold lettering.

The volume exhibits gentle wear appropriate to age, adding to its authentic period character.

This piece is both a collector’s item and a treasured decorative addition to a library, church setting, or sacred interior space
