Rare 15th Century Solid Oak Medieval Dutch Gothic Chest or Trunk

About the Item

A very rare chest that was completely made of solid oak from the Netherlands middle ages. It is a joined chest with hand carved geometric gothic front panels. The ornaments used are typical Gothic ornaments such as trefoil, mouchette, and trace. This diminutive chest was probably made in the 15th century Netherlands. It has the typical construction of very early European furniture as is also seen on the German Stollentruhe. The chest has only a small lid with forged hinges. The piece is in exceptionally good condition and shows signs of its great age. Condition details: The piece is in a very good authentic condition and that makes this chest of exceptional quality. There is a very old restoration to the upper left side of the top. And we’ve repaired the bottom of the left-back legs bottom. The chest came without a key, so the key is made by our locksmith with the use of an old key. It was gently cleaned and a new protective wax coat was applied.
