French cherrywood flour chest, or maie, dating from the first half of the 19th century. This type of chest was traditionally used for storing flour and other provisions.
The chest has a hinged lid with a moulded edge, a recessed front panel and panelled sides. The shaped lower apron and curved feet show Louis XV influence. Wooden pegs are visible in the frame joints.
The cherrywood has a warm brown colour with variations in grain and tone. Inside is one large storage compartment, with a darker finish and wear from use. Two wooden battens reinforce the underside of the lid.
Today, the chest could be used for storing blankets, linen or other household items.
Condition
The chest shows signs of age and use, including surface marks, scratches, small splits and wear to the wood. The interior retains a darker surface with visible wear.
