An Exceptional 19th Century Painted Trunk

19th century

Sold by Waterfall Antiques

Description

A truly exceptional piece; a unique 19th century painted storage trunk comprised of a lift-up moulded-edge lid, three side-hung cupboards to the front with two drawers below, all on shaped bracket feet. It is adorned throughout with exquisitely detailed pictures depicting the life of Admiral Lord Nelson including dramatic seascape battle scenes, close up scenes on board, and the place of his birth – a beautiful old parsonage in Burnham Thorpe, Norfolk. There are crests and motifs to each end, and even the inside of the lid is embellished with a portrait and two further crests. This astonishing Georgian coffer is English, c.1820's and the paintwork is as old, or possibly a little later. It can be regarded as being of great historical significance and represents a fine investment.
