A fantastic early 20th Century Travel Chest/ Trunk in a superb size. This chest dates to around 1900-1920 and has everything going for it – a really good size, superb colour and patina, perfectly aged brassware and the cleanest antique chest internals that we have seen! It has some nice features that would have clearly made it expensive when first sold. We love the quality and size of the side handles, the corner protectors and complete set of original screws and finishing washers. The inside is quite simply astounding for its age. We have not refurbished it. It came to us exactly like this. Perfect as a toy chest, blankets and throws, log box, books and magazines – you decide. It would also double as a rustic coffee table or TV stand. So flexible. A real keeper.

£0FREE Ground Floor Shipping on this item within approximately 150 miles of Cambridgeshire. More remote and rural areas will incur a charge.
A superb late 18th Century Captain’s Ship Chest. This chest dates to around 1780-1800 during the reign of King George III. It would have been used to store the Captain’s possessions for when boarded ship. It is a large and very heavy chest in original and very old paint. The paint and patina have been naturally worn and aged over the centuries to create a beautifully aged antique finish. The internals of the chest are amazing. Lots of storage trays, drawers and compartments to be used, or admired. The hinges are also original but the end ropes have been replaced as they never survive against the salt water and sea air.
We think it would now make a perfect rustic coffee table, TV stand or storage seat with a cushion on top. Very original, very hard to find and a real treasure.
