Antique Gothic Blanket Chest / Trunk with Amazing Patina & Original Lock ca 1700
About the Item
Marvelously hand-crafted chest from the late 1600s or early 1700s.
One of the things that make antiques so appealing & attractive is the fact that most pieces were handmade in recognizable styles, with proven techniques AND with natural materials that could and would stand the test of time. The longer back in time we go, the more that seems to be the case. This amazing chest from circa 1680-1720 is clearly made in the Gothic Style with Gothic church window-like carvings. With Gothic style chests of this age being very rare, we were (and still are) very enthousiastic about finding it. Put together and strengthened with hand-forged, wrought iron brackets, nails AND with very large dovetails, the master carpenter provided the techniques that would guarantee the owner a chest that would last him (or her) a lifetime. As it turned out, his workmanship, in this case, created a chest that has already served some 15 generations. This heavy quality chest is made of solid elm and wrought iron only and the centuries of usage and natural aging have given this Gothic antique a patina that is simply heavenly. The striking and deeply hand-carved Gothic cathedral-like windows, but also the hand forged lock and lock plate are some of the other features that give this tactile chest a look and feel that will never fail to impress. What makes this large and impressive chest even more special and even more decorative, are the carved sides. This is something that we have never seen before. Thanks to its large size, many carvings and its clean interior this Gothic chest will look wonderful in an entrance, in your living room, at the footend of your bed etc. If you already have a space in mind for it then this antique and unique Gothic chest could be flying your way soon.
Mind you, our fair price for this ancient chest even includes perfect packing (in a custom made crate) and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days.
Maximum width x height x depth: 52.4 x 26.3 x 23.2 inches.

We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again).
