Boxes.

An interesting contrast here between two chests from opposite sides of the globe.


First up, a new arrival yesterday, a 19th. century Indian strong box. Elaborate and decorative panelled construction reinforced with iron plates. Raised on turned feet, with carry handles at each end. A good height to use as a coffee table.
Dimensions: width 39", depth 23", height 20".
£295.



Also pictured here is a small mid 18th. century oak three panel coffer. With unusual and original carved detail to the staves, front and the front edge of the lid. Great colour, repolished in our workshops.
Dimensions: width 42", depth 19", height 21"
£595.
