Description
A good example of a large Dutch Colonial chest dating from the late 18th / early 19th century. It is made from a dense exotic hardwood, most likely Padouk wood and is incredibly heavy. The quality is excellent and it is decorated all over with ornate pierced and engraved brass hardware including large brass carrying handles and a hinged latch on the front. The hinged lid opens to the large storage area and also reveals an additional candle box within.
It is in good condition throughout and is strong and sturdy with a beautiful rich patina. There are signs of age and use, some marks and knocks and small chips and splits but no major damages. There are some small losses to some of the brasswork but overall it still displays well. The hinges are strong and the interior is clean and tidy. It has been gently cleaned and polished and is ready for use.
The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
