About the Item

A large, stately chest crafted from sucupira wood, known for its durability and rich, deep coloring. Originating from the 19th to 20th century, the chest exudes a sense of historical significance and robust antiquity. The wood's surface displays a natural patina that only time can bestow, with grain patterns that tell the story of its age and origins. Adorning the chest are studs with embossed ornamentation, which not only serve a functional purpose but also enhance the chest's aesthetic appeal. These metal accents provide a striking contrast to the dark wood, catching the light and drawing the eye to the intricate designs pressed into their surface. The front of the chest is secured with a lock, and the side handles are made of iron with cut contours, indicative of skilled craftsmanship. These elements are not merely functional but are crafted with an attention to detail that adds to the overall elegance of the piece. Supporting the chest are turned wooden feet, a classic feature in antique furniture. These feet are shaped with a lathe, displaying a rounded, bulbous form that provides stable support and adds to the chest's charm. This chest is a magnificent representation of the era’s craftsmanship, offering not only a piece of history but also functional storage space. It stands as a testament to the enduring beauty and utility of handcrafted wooden furniture.
