Description

17th century

Carved oak board chest of small size.

The front with a pair of carved lunettes

The sides with v cut feet.

The plank lid with chip carved edges

Good dark colour and shine ,this chest has stood in a fireplace for the past 30 yrs and it shows the signs with a scorched colour in places where the smoke and heat have penetrated over the years.

It has been cut down by about 3" but you can still see the v cut feet,there is a splice to one side and a hole has been filled with filler ( a long time ago) the lock plate is hand made and later ,the hinges are also later and there lid has been braced because of two cracks .

So after all that a great country chest that has served the nation well and ouses country life.
