Late 19th-century oak donation box, circa 1890–1910, produced for the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel. Constructed in solid oak with original printed paper labels and central coin slot, this small but evocative piece reflects the everyday material culture of Victorian religious and charitable life. Retaining its original patina and surface wear consistent with age and use, it offers a tangible link to church fundraising practices in Britain at the turn of the century.
