FAQs

Ships boxes and sea chests were utilised by sailors, officers, and travellers during the 18th and 19th centuries to store personal belongings, navigational instruments, and provisions during long maritime voyages.

These pieces were typically constructed from durable hardwoods such as mahogany, teak, or oak to withstand harsh sea conditions, featuring robust dovetail joints, recessed iron or brass carrying handles, and reinforced corners.

Authenticity is indicated by period-appropriate hand-cut dovetailing, aged patination on the wood, genuine brass or iron hardware with natural oxidisation, and interior construction consistent with pre-industrial joinery.

A maritime chest functions effectively as a coffee table in a living room, extra storage at the foot of a bed, or a statement anchor piece in a hallway, combining practical utility with historical character.

Maintain the wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking, and apply occasional applications of traditional beeswax to nourish the grain and preserve the historic finish.
