Large Victorian Oak Strapped Silver Chest

19th century
Description

A good example of a large English oak silver chest dating from the mid 19th Century. It is covered in iron strapping on the corners and edges with two closing latches and it has large iron carrying handles.

The interior is lined with blue baize and it has a lined tray with brass carrying handles. The lock is stamped for "Hobbs & Son. Makers to Her Majesty" and there is a maker / retailer's label for "Ollivant & Botsford. Silversmiths. Manchester" who were renowned silversmiths of the period.

It is in excellent condition for its age and is strong and sturdy with a lovely rich patina. There are signs of age and use and some general knocks and marks but no major losses or damages. There is some minor wear to the baize lining but generally the interior is clean and tidy. It has been cleaned and gently polished and displays beautifully.

The best description comes from the photographs so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.

Nationwide delivery available through our network of reliable couriers.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A Victorian silver chest was constructed during the nineteenth century to store family silver, plate, and valuables securely within townhouses and country estates.

These chests were primarily crafted from dense hardwoods such as oak or mahogany and heavily reinforced with wrought iron straps, corner brackets, and metal fastenings.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-forged or cast iron hardware, original brass keyhole escutcheons, traditional joinery, and natural patination across both wood and metal elements.

An antique silver chest functions effectively as a central coffee table, hallway anchor, or end-of-bed storage piece in modern or classic interior schemes.

Maintain the timber by dusting with a soft dry cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish annually, taking care to keep metal fittings free from moisture.
