Handcrafted with simple plank construction, the box retains its original iron side handles, decorative iron hinges, and front latch—all showing appealing age and oxidation.
The interior is untreated wood, offering a warm contrast to the deep matte exterior. Its rustic, utilitarian aesthetic makes it a versatile accent piece—perfect for farmhouse, Americana, cabin, industrial, or eclectic interiors. Use it as a small storage trunk, entryway organizer, tabletop display box, or decorative prop with genuine antique charm.
The chest shows age-appropriate wear including paint loss, scratches, and bottom panel splits, all consistent with 100+ years of use and adding to its authenticity.
