1900s Belgian Wooden Chest
About the Item
This 1900s Belgian wooden chest is a utilitarian gem with rich historical character. Stenciled with the original branding “A Milice Royale – E. Remy & Cie – Louvain,” the chest hints at its former life in military or industrial service. The pinewood construction is accented with black-painted trim and forged iron side handles, giving it a rugged yet graphic appeal. Its timeworn surface bears signs of age and use, adding authenticity and charm. Hinged at the back and opening to a spacious interior, this piece functions beautifully as a storage trunk, coffee table, or decorative accent with storied European provenance.
