This highly decorative piece is hand-carved from dense, rich solid rosewood and features beautifully detailed scrolling foliate relief borders wrapping around the entire frame.

The face is configured with six independently functioning drawers, each accented with traditional floral and wire brass inlays alongside flush, recessed brass military-style handles. Built specifically as a portable collector’s cabinet or table-top chest rather than a full trunk, it rests elegantly on hand-carved bracket feet and does not feature side-handles from original production. The back of the top-left drawer preserves faint, original pencil workshop assembly marks—a testament to its hand-crafted, authentic late Victorian era construction. A versatile statement accent for any library, vanity, or console table See less
