In exceptional original condition and having a most fabulous colour and natural patina.
Of small practical proportions, the chest is in absolutely superb original condition with no repairs or restoration and no significant dings, dents or marks. There are some old worm holes underneath the chest but these are long since treated and dead and we guarantee the chest to be worm free. The stump feet are original also, hexagonal and squat

The triple serpentine top crossbanded to front and sides and the canted corners spreading into wide faced knees and shaped apron - all lovely and desirable details on a piece of this period.
