About the Item

Adorned by an impressive lattice of strapwork, this oak and iron money chest from 17th-century France is both functional and aesthetically appealing. An elaborate, stylized iron fleur de lys can be found in each corner of the lid, surrounded by decorative straps and two long straps that terminate as hasps on the front of the chest. There is a third strap that traverses the lid, ending just above the large, shaped escutcheon that is above a volute margent. Additional straps, most of which are short and non-functional can be seen on all sides, interspersed with longer, more purposeful iron strips and foliate brackets on the bottom corners. Each side has a drop handle that is affixed to one of the longer straps, allowing our 17th-century French money chest to be moved easily. It can be used in a bedroom for linens and blankets, in a bathroom for towels and/or toiletries, or in the living room as a decorative piece.

17th Century Northern France Wedding Chest in Carved Oak

Located in Dallas, TX

Based on the facing portrait cartouches on the front facade, this chest was most likely presented to a couple for their wedding in 17th-century Northern France. The oak wood has a deep brown patina that accentuates the hand-carved frontage, depicting a man (on the left) facing a woman (on the right), surrounded by scrolls and a sprawling foliate margent. A quarter-round edge embellishes the lid, which can be opened to reveal deep storage, including a 5 ½ inch tall side compartment. Several thin layers of molding can be seen on the low profile apron above small bracket feet. A chest like this would have been offered as a wedding dowry, most likely commissioned by the parents of the bride or possibly even by the husband himself. The chest would have been used to store valuables for the couple’s new life together, with the wrought iron handles on the sides allowing the chest to be easily transported. Our 17th-century wedding chest can be used functionally as a small storage chest for a bedroom or bathroom or displayed as a well-carved room...
