Wonderful details and perfect patina - in a Caramel / British Tan color tone that is a standout.

43" wide, 24.5" deep, 27.5" tall - standing 6" off the ground on four significant corner feet.

Exceptionally clean inside...no odors, marks, signs of past moisture. Ready for heirloom use of any kind.

And the detailing...

Notice the interior sill around the storage area.

Notice the inset hinges on the lid, so that this can sit flush to a wall or adjacent piece of furniture. And the top stays upright on its own!

Notice the larger than normal and more finely crafted feet. Notice the extra trims around the perimeter of the top, of the opening, and around the base.

All marks of a finely crafted and much appreciated piece of furniture.

Sourced from a very fine Southwest Virginia Estate, further affirmation of its quality - a maybe pedigree.

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...

Often fine antiques are just to look at - a wonderful acquisition, a source of knowledge, and a story to share. Pieces like this are the ones we like - interesting, attractive, well done, and solid enough to live alongside very day.

And the color! And the look of the patina...perfect blend of old and clean and strong!

We've used this as an end of bed trunk for many years in our best guest room, storing our collection of Hudson Bay blankets. What marvelous collection will you entrust it to protect? See less
