A handsome 19th-century iron-bound chest, constructed in solid pine and reinforced with heavy strapwork to every edge. This is a wonderfully honest, practical piece with all the character you’d expect from a chest built for real use — strong, substantial, and full of presence.
The wide planked top is framed with original iron bands, echoed down the sides and front, giving the chest a bold, architectural look. Side-mounted iron carrying handles add to its utilitarian charm, while the warm, natural timber shows a beautifully aged grain and colour.
