Description
Early 17th-century Continental Antique Oak Strong Box With Iron Bindings
Early 17th-century. Most probably German or Spanish in origin.
The hinged lid opens to reveal a compartmentalised interior above an arrangement of small drawers which are set behind two doors.
With ornate pierced ironwork throughout, original hasp, lock plate, lower elongated bolt and key escutcheon and carry handles.
Provenance – Unknown.
Condition – Please refer to the images. There is some oxidation to the iron strapwork and minor age-related splits to the timber as it has seasoned through the centuries. There are minor losses to some of the strapwork – a small amount is missing from lid. There are minor tracea of old woodworm but this is inactive and also has been treated as a precautionary measure. There are some very minor losses to the base. Please remember this box is in excess of 400 years old.
Size – Height 24 cm x Width 41 cm x Depth 31 cm (9 1/2″ x 16 1/8″ x 12 1/4″)
