Very Rare Antique Armada Box or Strongbox in Iron Early 17th Century

About the Item

Very Rare Antique Armada Box or Strongbox in Iron Early 17th Century A truly wonderful 400 year old museum worthy ‘strongbox’ or ‘armada box’. Most probably German, around 1600-1620. These kind of chests were used as transportable safe - both on land and on a ship. Very heavy and highly rare - especially this smaller size. This chest features a working 11 bolt lock mechanism, with a most unique hand engraved lock plate showing two anthropomorphic mermaid like sea creatures. Wonderful intricate details and hand made quality. Please note the very large and heavy key. Overall a very rare and museum quality strongbox in a very good - working - condition. About ORNAMENTUM ORNAMENTUM - where we find perfection in imperfection, love a good patina and are always on the lookout for wonderful and unique pieces both vintage and antique. We are based in Belgium near the Dutch border.
