Pair of Antique Bound Pine Chests (Belonged to Jessie Degan Cole of Dawn House, Sleepers Hill in Winchester)

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Culvertons
Description

This decorative pair of bound pine chests (Circa 1900) used to belong to Jessie Degan Cole. At the time of the 1911 census, Jessie lived in Dawn House (see image), which is located on Sleepers Hill in Winchester. Dawn House was built in 1907 and designed by Ernest Newton RA, a leading Arts & Crafts architect. When I first saw these chests, and based on the numbering to each lid, their would have been originally at least four, I thought they would work very well as lamp tables either side of a large sofa, with plenty of room left over for books and the odd bottle of wine. They are in original untouched condition; even their fabric lined interior is still intact. I have always been drawn to furniture that has a traceable past and Jessie's travelling chests come with their original hanging label stating who they belonged to and where they were being sent - Ms. Cowie of Agglestone Road in Studland, near Swanage.

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.

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.

FAQs

Iron-bound pine chests were predominantly designed in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as utilitarian storage containers for travel, military transport, or household organization. The iron fittings added structural integrity to withstand frequent handling and long journeys.

These chests were typically crafted from solid pine timber, joined with dovetail or lap joints, and reinforced at the corners and edges with wrought or cast iron strapping and brackets. Heavy-duty iron hinges, lock plates, and side handles were standard for transport durability.

Authentic pieces feature signs of natural age, such as hand-hammered iron fittings with natural oxidisation, original stencilling or black lettering, cast brass escutcheons, and natural wear patterns around edges and handles from historic usage.

A pair of pine chests can serve as unique bedside tables, low coffee tables, or accent pieces placed at the foot of a bed. Their natural wood grain and metal hardware complement rustic farmhouse, industrial, and eclectic interiors.

Maintain pine timber by applying a high-quality beeswax polish along the grain to preserve the patina and nourish the wood. Keep metal straps clean and dry, applying a light microcrystalline wax to prevent active rusting while maintaining historical oxidisation.
