Debenham Antiques Ltd

Our business is based in the beautiful village of Debenham in Suffolk, England, which is close to Constable country. I take our pride in being the 4th generation in my family to be antique dealers who have been buying and selling antiques for over a century. With our expanding web presence in the UK, we also have a base in the USA with Debenham Antiques inc. Along with expanding our international web based business, we also quite unusually retain our high street presence, with a large retail shop which we use to display our finest goods, and to offer the client a more personal service for the those who like to discuss their needs.
Here at Debenham Antiques we try to cater for all styles and tastes, and we believe this is reflected in our stock as you can find anything from 15th century carvings to late 20th century fine quality furniture. We have experts in furniture and paintings who buy our goods with safe knowledge. We also offer a wide range of fine quality reproduction furniture which is all lovingly handcrafted by ourselves locally, using the best timbers.
Debenham Antiques works hard to ensure that we provide the client with a quality experience from start to finish. All our buying, photography, restoration, polishing and shipping is carried out in house by our dedicated team of staff. This we feel allows us to be in control from start to finish, which only benefits our customers.

Description
Early 19th Century (circa 1807) hand painted Swedish marriage chest. During our travels around scandinavia we come across numerous folk art and rustic coffers of this era, but this is up there with one of the best quality. Dome topped with an overall base blue/grey colour scheme, black metal strap work and carrying handles. Beautifully hand painted to the front with florals and swags, date and first owners names. substantial lid opens to reveal and further painted interior with date and initials inside a hand painted wreath and the standard fitted candle box. All unusually raised on the original small bun feet. Remarkably supplied with 2 working keys for the original working lock. Expected surface marks, natural fading and wear to paint work. Minor restoration to metal work to keep secure.
