Some more information about antique silverware chests
Antique Silverware Chests were usually found in the dining room of wealthy people. These chests were more refined, with a more decorative use of brass and even silverplated fittings. They were used to store the family silver such as tea sets, tableware and dinner services that were brought out to entertain and impress visiting guests. These Chests were usually lined in green baize to prevent the silver from scratching. Travelling Chests were more solid affairs, heavier and ironbound to take the knocks and bangs of day to day transport. Nowadays both these Chests are often used in period and modern settings as a centre piece in a room, for storage and as decorative occasional and coffee tables.
Please note; This item is in very good condition for its age but will obviously have the odd slight blemishes and here and there, however, we feel that this adds to the charm and authenticity of the item with it being antique.
