19th C. Artisan painted storage chest in a minty green with signal red diamond designs.

Original in every way and very clean. Perfect patina to the exterior paint work and still ready for use inside.

32" wide, 24.5" deep, 18.25 tall.

Sits on a set of amazing metal casters which still perform this duties perfectly.

Fantastic detailing everywhere you look:

* two wood trimmed key holes with proper locking mechanisms
* four hinges on the top lid - smooth with absolutely no weakness
* interior tray as a part of the storage - tools, toys, blankets, etc.
* two iron pulls on each short side - still tight as a drum
* And clean inside!

In keeping with Aesop's fable, Fox and Crow's Motto is "Beware of False Flattery!" So, with each listing we offer a true confession about the item...

This one is all about wonderful paint decoration and fine details.

The colors and patina are charming - bright and showing antique age all at the same time.

And, someone obviously cared about this one...the casters, the hinges, how clean it is inside...bodes very well for modern enjoyment.

And, with the signal red on a foamy green, it could even have a nautical, coastal flare. See less
