In A Nutshell Antiques and Interiors has dated this piece to the 19th Century.
It has balcksmith-made metal carrying handles either side. The hinged lid opens to the large storage area below a series of segmented compartments.
It is in good condition and is strong and sturdy with a beautiful rich patina. There are signs of age and use, some small chips and knocks, some minor splits and wear in the brass and some missing studs but no major losses or damages. There has been a repair at the front where perhaps an old lock once sat. The hinges have been replaced at some point in its life with traditionally made ones that are very similar to the originals and the interior is generally clean and tidy.
The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions please ask.
