Stunning Antique Gothic Revival Hand Carved Elm Wood Blanket Chest / Trunk 1750

About the Item

Great looking and patina antique Gothic trunk, made of solid elmwood. This impressive looking and practical size chest shows a number of deep and beautiful, hand carved Gothic elements in the front panel. Inside the pure Gothic front also is the antique and hand hammered, wrought iron lockplate. This wrought iron, shield-like lockplate above the Gothic window-like carved details too is the perfect one for this Medieval Style chest. Behind this lock plate is a perfect working replacement lock for which we provide a key. The large and very thick lid is strong enough to (for example) hold a couple of grown-ups (both sitting and standing) and this chest also has an incredibly warm patina. Over the many decades there have been some restaurations and replacements and together they tell the story of the life and character of this Gothic antique. This good size chest and talking piece stands perfectly strong and stable and because of its strength and condition this antique can and will be used and enjoyed for many more years, decades and even centuries to come. It will look marvelous in an entry hall, at the footend of your bed or in any other space where it has the room to shine. If you appreciate its rarity, beauty and history as much as we do then maybe you should be its next custodian. This stunning antique box too is great value for money. Especially when taken into account that perfect packing (in a custom made crate) and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days are included in our already fair price. Maximum width x height x depth: 43.3 x 21.7 x 17.5 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again).

  • Antique Gothic Blanket Chest / Trunk with Amazing Patina & Original Lock ca 1700
    Located in Lisse, NL
    Marvelously hand-crafted chest from the late 1600s or early 1700s. One of the things that make antiques so appealing & attractive is the fact that most pieces were handmade in recognizable styles, with proven techniques AND with natural materials that could and would stand the test of time. The longer back in time we go, the more that seems to be the case. This amazing chest from circa 1680-1720 is clearly made in the Gothic Style with Gothic church window-like carvings. With Gothic style chests of this age being very rare, we were (and still are) very enthousiastic about finding it. Put together and strengthened with hand-forged, wrought iron brackets, nails AND with very large dovetails, the master carpenter provided the techniques that would guarantee the owner a chest that would last him (or her) a lifetime. As it turned out, his workmanship, in this case, created a chest that has already served some 15 generations. This heavy quality chest is made of solid elm and wrought iron only and the centuries of usage and natural aging have given this Gothic antique a patina that is simply heavenly. The striking and deeply hand-carved Gothic cathedral-like windows, but also the hand forged lock...
