Massive 5ft Antique Carved Teak Wheeled Dowry Chest

About the Item

This massive 19th century, antique wheeled dowry chest is stunning. Constructed of solid teak and measuring just over 5ft in length and almost 3 ft tall, it is a massive piece of furniture that can have a large impact in any space. The beauty really is in the hand crafted details of the piece. Please see all the pictures. The 4 large scale wheels, hand carved wood relief on the apron, dovetail joints and rustic metal hardware give it lots of visual interest. It is the most beautiful warm wood tone with beautiful patina from age and use. The hinged lid opens to reveal a huge storage area. Trunk is very well made, solid and HEAVY. It is in excellent condition for its age. The wheels do roll in a left to right fashion but I believe them to be more for adornment than function.
