Signed Original Period Charles II Oak Mule Chest
A particularly original and beautiful solid oak English mule chest made by hand in c.1665 and with a fantastic colour and very rich deep natural patina.
Retaining its original split ring hinges and original timbers and peg joints throughout.
With twin fielded and shaped panels to the front and sides, each framed with chamfered bottom rails to let water run-off easily. The single long drawer with applied geometric mouldings and small heavy solid brass period drop handles.
This is a beautiful and usable chest – very heavy and substantial but of relatively small proportions.
The coffer sits on original stile feet which are intentionally concealed by the well shaped flared apron around the base – a lovely quality detail.
This chest would sit well within a traditional or modern interior and would be lovely as a linen chest at the end of a bed or a hall chest for shoes etc.
Marks, dings, scuffs and minor losses consistent with age and use. The lock to the lower drawer is original. The lid opens to reveal the original oak candle box. Some wooden straps/reinforcement have been added to the underside of the lid – probably in the 19th century – just a belt and braces piece of restoration which is often seen on such early coffers.
A really wonderful early example, not too big, very sturdy and usable and signed beneath the lid in very old script ‘James Reeves’ – probably the maker or first custodian.
Sold with the original sales invoice from Castle Antiques in Rochester, Kent - dated 3rd of May 1976
Dimensions are:
Width 39 inches, Height 27.25 inches, Depth 19 inches.
Internal/usable height of drawer is 4.75 inches. Height with lid up is 44.5 inches. I describe and photograph my pieces accurately and with the aim that on arrival each will exceed expectations.
I operate a full refund guarantee and am always happy to give free, honest and friendly advice.
