Item Details
A rare and impressive antique 17th century oak mule chest featuring unusual marquetry-inlaid panels with floral motifs and a rich, warm colour developed through centuries of age. The hinged lid opens to reveal a generous interior complete with the original candle box, a desirable and increasingly uncommon survival. The chest retains its original iron strap hinges, locks, and handles, all contributing to its strong period character. This is a substantial and decorative piece with excellent presence, ideal for both storage and display.
