This beautiful and sturdy antique wooden casket is entirely sheathed in intricate repoussé (embossed) brass, built on a strong oak core.
Its detailed, narrative metalwork is characteristic of Continental European strongboxes from the 17th or 18th century (likely German or Dutch origin). The dense figural scenes—covering the top, front, and sides—make it a powerful statement piece.
Perfect for Modern Uses:
• Luxury Barware or Wine Caddy: Use its unique form to store or display a few special bottles of liquor, port, or high-end bar tools. It adds an unbeatable historic charm to any home bar or dining area.
• Unique Storage: An ideal size for a distinctive keepsake box, document chest, or to hide remotes and clutter on a console table.
Good used condition, this is on casters and the brass does have a few knocks and sharper bits around the edges.
