Swat Chest from the Swat Valley of Pakistan c1800's Original and Unrestored

About the Item

Beautifully hand-carved Swat Chest from the Swat Valley of Pakistan. We have had one at home for over 30 years and I had always thought they were Afghan, but recently I was corrected. I am sure someone out there will correct us once more, but what I am sure of, is that it is very old, totally original, in wonderful condition and just needs a good home. This trunk (Swat Chest) is of unusual proportions since it is by far the largest one I have ever seen.

  • Antique Cupboard from Ireland Great Patina Unrestored Original Paint, C1800's
    Located in Chicago, IL
    The Antique Cupboard that was removed from a home we believe may have been in Scotland. The Antique Cabinet, or Cupboard was located in Ireland, but upon cleaning out the Antique Painted Cupboard, we found receipts from the Royal Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland dated 1967. Certainly not definitive, however, the cabinet is absolutely from the British Isles and more than that, is the fact that no one has attempted to restore, or worse yet, refinish the cupboard. The Patina of Old Original Paint is quite impressive and I only wish we could duplicate it. This Painted Antique Cupboard...

  • Antique Italian 3-Door Buffet Beautiful Unrestored Original Paint circa 1800's
    Located in Chicago, IL
    Antique Italian 3-door painted buffet in virtually a completely unrestored condition. The original paint has an unbelievable patina and there appears to be very little touchup. Judging by the backside of the antique Italian buffet, it appears to have been made in the late-1800’s and we can see no major repairs anywhere. Have to say that to find an antique Italian painted buffet...

    Antique Swedish Woodworkers Bench or Work Table who apparently did an excessive amount of paintwork, or at least judging by the layers of old Swedish paint. Unfortunately, we were not the importers of this Swedish work table and only because it was in a building with numerous other Antique Swedish furniture that we assume it's also from Sweden. Structurally, the antique painted Swedish table...

  • Antique French Deux Corp 'Cupboard' in Original Finish from Chateau Unrestored
    Located in Chicago, IL
    This extremely rare, Antique French Cupboard, is from the Château de Loyat in Brittany, which I believe dates back to the 1500, was in a condition, that Antique dealers can only dream of. The French Cupboard or Cabinet, is exactly what you would expect, a 300-year-old antique French Cabinet to look like, if no one ever touched the finish, let alone restore the Antique Cupboard. Our opinion is, that this Antique French Cupboard or Cabinet, could have been made in the late 1600s or early 1700s and if I did not know that this Cupboard was made from French White Oak, one would have thought it was constructed of iron, based on its weight. Our centuries old French Cupboard, was constructed without the use of any nails or glue, for the entire Antique Cabinet was assembled using wooden pegs. Our Old Plank restoration department, has just completed a 240-hour conservation procedure, wherein lieu of just replacing the old worn wood oak boards, we chose to harden them and only used small fillets of antique French Oak for repair. Yes, this became a labor of love, but for us, to find an antique French Cabinet, in this virgin untouched state, is quite rare nowadays, so, the choice was made to conserve, rather than restore, which required triple the labor. Our Antique French Deux Corps...
