Antique Studded Zanzibar Chest

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: In A Nutshell Antiques and Interiors

A good example of a traditional Zanzibar chest dating from the late 19th century. It is made from a dense hardwood such as teak and is decorated with pierced brass sheets and brass studs forming geometric patterns. It has metal carrying handles either side and a pierced brass closing latch. The hinged lid opens to a large storage area below and a small hinged candle box. The candle box hides a secret compartment accessed by sliding the base.
 
It is in good condition and is strong and sturdy with a beautiful rich patina. There are signs of age and use, some small marks and knocks, some minor splits and a couple of missing studs but no major losses or damages. There has been a small repair to one side and to a strip of wood on the back but nothing untoward or detrimental. The interior is generally clean and tidy, the box has been lightly cleaned and polished and is ready for use.
 
The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
