HERITAGE EDITION DISPLAYS A Gift of Sacred Art
Heritage edition displaysA Gift of Sacred Art
The Heritage Edition is an exquisite fine art reproduction
that gives people around the world an opportunity to
experience how The Saint John’s Bible captivates the senses
and inspires unique personal reflection as it imparts the
word of God. Designed to be consistent with the themes
found in The Saint John’s Bible, each display and storage
option will conserve the volumes of the Heritage Edition for
centuries to come.
You can showcase and protect your volumes with display
and storage options designed especially for the full-size,
signed and numbered limited editions. These quality cabinets
and viewing stands are handcrafted by Saint John’s Abbey
Woodworking. Four options are available to fit your gathering
space, library or home.
Saint John’s Abbey Woodworking is an apostolate of Saint
John’s Abbey. The woodworking tradition is based on
Benedictine principles of spirituality, stability and steward-
ship of the land. Local artisans — both monastic and lay —
have designed and crafted practical, durable, and beautiful
furniture and architectural details for our institutions for
150 years.

workmanship and to learn more about the Saint John’s
Abbey monks’ unique woodworking enterprise, visit

deluxe Viewing stand
The Deluxe Viewing Stand is available separate from the storage cabinet and displays
and protects a single volume. With a hinged glassed top and a support cradle, the
viewing stand offers the best height to read a volume displayed under glass. This
is an option that showcases one volume while the other volumes are handled and
stored with care.
deluxe Viewing stand and Cabinet
The seven-drawer cabinet is made of quarter-sawn red oak with Welsh oak and
ebony accents, reflections of the Minnesota and Wales collaboration. The sweeping
curves of the framework and hexagonal knobs are architectural references to Saint
John’s Abbey’s famous Bauhaus church built in 1960 by Marcel Breuer. Leather-
lined drawer bottoms have finger recesses to assist in easily removing the volumes.
A support cradle beneath a hinged glass top makes it possible to display a single
volume for the long term. The viewing stand and cabinet can be dissembled in
three pieces for ease of transport.
storage Cabinet
This cabinet is made of the same quality materials and with the same features as the
Deluxe Cabinet. The seven drawers are scaled to the size and heft of the individual
volumes, with leather-lined drawer bottoms and finger recesses for easy retrieval.
The cabinet is mounted on a simple base of red oak. Display stand and storage
cabinet can be purchased as a set.
display stand
This stand is designed for smaller spaces or when it is desirable to provide more
access to the volume, such as in liturgical or private residential settings. Made
of quarter-sawn red oak, the display stand is designed to hold a single Heritage
Edition volume. It retains the distinctive shape of the Deluxe Viewing Stand, but has
a smaller footprint and an adjustable top so you can achieve the best viewing angle
in your environment.
