Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Holmes Antiques

A really nice 17th Century Oak Mule Kist in mint original condition and of good colour and patina. Retaining the original strap hinges with traces of the original tinning, the original axe drop handles and quite remarkably the original decorated lock and hasp. Having lunettes carved to the top rail, bold mouldings applied around the panels and drawer fronts, guilloche carved to the centre rail, fluted styles and shaped bottom rail. The top with thumb mould to the edge and shape and moulded batons to the underside. The interior is fitted with the large original candle box. The drawer linings are wonderfully clean like the rest of the piece and made in Oak with elm bottoms. This is an exceptionally honest piece of early English Oak Furniture.
