This chest is in good condition for its age, although there are obviously some slight signs of use. There are some sporadic traces of old woodworm, which have obviously been checked again. The chest has a functioning lock with key. It used to be customary to give wedding furniture like this as a gift to the couple at a wedding. This furniture was afterwards placed on the farm in a showroom that was only rarely used for high visits or special occasions. So a beautiful and decorative piece of history. This one dates from 1737. 76cm high, 148cm wide, 65cm deep. See less
