We are very pleased to present one extremely charming & quite old Middle Eastern \"Dowry Chest\" for your consideration!
This wonderful piece came out of an estate & we have not yet had it dated or appraised as limited resources in our area for this.
It is definitely quite old & has a great patina to the wood, which is a very dark brown in color & our best guess is cedar. It is heavily adorned with hand applied brass embellishments & also has heavy, hand wrought brass hardware. The catch for the clasp is missing a few screws & we could have simply added a few new ones, but felt it really needs antiqued screws to match the one present.
The chest measures 35\" wide, 17\" deep & stands 16.5\" tall.
The chest has a \"secret compartment\" at the left inside that can be accessed by sliding the moving piece to the right through the groove for this.
We did the best we could as far as online research goes & the chest appears to us to be of Middle Eastern origin, but India is also a possibility.
There is really only minor wear from age overall & joinery is very sound & tight. It may have had a few minor repairs over the years as appears a few areas inside have been patched/filled.
The chest has only a slightly musty odor from age.
The embellishments are all solid brass & have a wonderful, aged patina. We cannot guarantee this, but it appears to be the original finish.
This beautiful chest would be a welcome addition to any Middle Eastern or Indian themed décor!
Please do not hesitate to ask questions that we may be able to answer by looking at the chest.
Shipping via FedEx ground insured w/tracking to the US Lower 48 only is actual. The chest itself weighs 55 pounds, so please consider this when reviewing the shipping charge shown for your location.The approximate shipping dimensions are 42 x 25 x 25, 70 pounds.
Thanks for viewing & the very best of luck to all!
