18th century

Sold by Waterfall Antiques

Description

A magnificent late 18th/early 19th century solid camphorwood general-purpose storage trunk of large proportions measuring 50” (1270mm) wide. The lift-up lid with its bold D-edge trim opens to reveal a capacious single storage compartment. There are solid brass lifting handles to each end and numerous brass fretwork corner-protectors and various other iron straps. The particularly well-figured timbers have an untouched original finish with a rich warm colour, a soft lustre shine, and a glowing patination. This beautiful old Georgian coffer dates from c.1780/1820, and there is a working iron key to the original lock.
