Jacobean oak boarded chest c.1605

An interesting and unusual oak boarded chest of the reign of James I. At first glance it seems as if it is an early box on a later stand, but the sides run all the way down to the ground as solid planks; and the curvature and decoration of the supports is typical of the early date.The plinth running around the box is a later Georgian addition. The feet, probably replacing damp rotted timber, are also Georgian and probably date from the time when the box was 'modernised' by the addition of the Late Georgian plinth. The front of the chest is scratched or scribed out in an elaborate decorative scheme using the Romanesque arch motif fashionable at the time. This may have been meant to be carved out and never was, or perhaps the scribing was once coloured in with paint; much early furniture did have colour applied...now nearly always lost. Size: 31 inches tall, 43 inches wide, 26.4 inches deep. Condition: Good; some alterations as listed above; good deep colour. Provenance: a Yorkshire Private Collection
