Antique 18th Century Oak Mule Chest

An exceptional early 18th-century oak mule chest, dated and inscribed PC 1723, retaining strong colour, detailing, and presence. The chest is constructed in the traditional manner, with a hinged top opening to reveal a generous interior with a later candle box to the left side. Below are two drawers fitted with brass swan-neck handles.

The oak has matured to a deep, warm tone with a wonderful patina throughout. The front features three fielded panels, each centred with decorative inlaid motifs. The lid is traditionally hinged and surmounted by a moulded cornice, and the chest is raised on turned bun feet. Overall, a lovely example.
