Retaining the original steel carrying handles and key escutcheon, it also retains the original working steel lock (with key) and oval shaped brass key escutcheon. The interior is clean, dry, practical and usable. The lid retains its original steel strap hinges, which are in good working condition. The interior comprises the original candle box, with lid, also retaining its original floorboards and backboards. The Victorian pine chest sits on its original small bracket feet. The back of the trunk retains its original panels along with the original floorboards. The Victorian pine chest has been wax-polished by hand (over the original scumble finish), in our workshop, to a professional standard, therefore the colour and patination are of an excellent standard.
