About the Item

This fine oak chest was crafted in England around 1700 and stands as a beautiful example of the solid yet stylish furniture of the period. The front is richly decorated with geometric panels featuring carved diamond shapes with floral motifs, flanked by twisted columns and a frieze of half-circle ornaments. The lid is paneled in three sections, reflecting the careful craftsmanship for which English cabinetmakers of the time were renowned. Over the centuries, the chest has developed a warm brown color, its rich patina enhancing the depth and character of the wood. Remarkably, the original lock and key are still intact—a rare detail that underscores the authenticity and desirability of this piece. In our workshop, the chest was carefully cleaned and given a fresh wax finish, allowing its natural glow and warm character to shine once again. The piece is in excellent condition, free of defects, and fully ready for use—whether as a functional storage chest or as a distinguished presence in any interior.
