A 17th Century English Guild Chest.

17th century
Description

A 17th century English guild chest and constructed entirely from cedar. The chest has a shallow carved front which bares the coat of arms for the worshipful company of blacksmiths and is dated 1669, which puts it in the reign of Charles II, below the coat of arms is the moto "by Hammer of hand al arts do stand". Either side of the coat of arms is the tree of life, probably representing growth, death and rebirth, i.e the passing down of the skill of the blacksmith to the younger apprentice, and the craftsmanship and work being eternal through this cycle.

The chest has a few minor restorations commensurate with age, the surface has a superb colour and patination and the scent of the cedar is very pleasant when you open the lid.

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.

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.
