Antique old brass bound sea chest box trunk with false base compartment.
Please study all photographs carefully as these also form part of the description. Beautiful Victorian Pine Chest / Trunk with brass drop handles. Brass lock escutcheon, and original solid brass quality drop handles. It has had some renovation (mainly a small wood insert in one edge) in the past, as is to be expected because of its age, but it is in a nice polished condition. It is brass bound, and is made of Brazilian mahogany - very thick and heavy. It has a false panel in the internal base for smuggling, when it was originally a sea chest, I believe. I have owned it for 50 years, but I no longer have the room for it. There is no woodworm - its too hard for the little blighters! A perfect Coffee Table ? Length 77cm Width 45cm Height 47cm It provides an ideal storage solution for papers / magazines or would look fabulous as a lamp or coffee table. A nice piece of furniture to enhance any home. As this is an old chest, the usual marks, and knocks are present commensurate with age and use. If you are looking for a modern, uniform piece of furniture then perhaps this chest is not for you. A very pretty chest, rare and unusual. Ad ID: Delivery Service Consumer Credit
