This is an attractive, floor standing 19th century teak chest of small proportions with finely pierced and engraved brass mounts to top and three sides. It is also fitted with a substantial pair of brass handles for carrying the chest, and the whole is raised on bun feet. This chest is very much in the Indo-Dutch Colonial style but may have been made after the Dutch handed Ceylon over to the British in 1797.

The lid with moulded edge lifts to reveal an open interior with a lidded candle box to one side.

This is a versatile piece of antique furniture which can be used for storage as well as for a coffee table or drinks table. It can be displayed just about anywhere in the house - it would be a striking addition to a hallway, make a great drinks table in a lounge or provide extra storage for clothes and blankets at the foot of a bed in a bedroom.

Dimensions: Width 81 x Depth 45 x Height 53 cm
The last photo shows it in comparison to a large Grand Tour bronze of Hermes and a smaller Japanese bronze of a fisherman.

Condition: This chest is in excellent antique condition having been gently cleaned and wax polished in our workshop. All brass mounts are present. It lacks a key.

Delivery: This chest can be delivered by our trusted delivery man to most places in England and Wales for £60. Please contact us with your Post Code to confirm the delivery cost.
