Antique Oak Mule Chest

In good antique condition throughout with signs of age and use commensurate with its age. There is surface wear in places including age-related marks, scratches and knocks. The interior shows evidence of historic worm activity, which is long inactive and treated as a precaution, along with some associated losses and wear to the internal rail and lid hinge area (pictured). There is also some wear and minor losses to the moulded edges and feet, together with historic shrinkage and movement to the oak boards, all typical of a piece of this age. The mule chest remains structurally solid, sturdy, and ready for use.
