Description:
This is a charming rustic antique English early Victorian pine chest, retaining the original patination, displaying good colour, circa 1840, in excellent original condition. The Victorian trunk has been constructed with a twin-plank flat top, with a cleated moulding, above single plank sides, front and back. Retaining the original steel strap hinges, steel carrying handles and key escutcheon, it also retains the original working steel lock (with key). The interior is clean, dry, practical and usable. The lid retains its original steel strap hinges, which are in good working condition. The pine trunk retains its original floorboards and backboards. The back of the Victorian trunk retains its original panels along with the original floorboards. The Victorian pine chest has been cleaned and wax-polished by hand (over the original scumble finish), in our workshop, to a professional standard. Therefore, the colour and patination are of an excellent standard.

This Victorian pine storage chest would look great in a variety of rooms, as a decorative piece in the hallway, to the living room or bedroom as a TV stand, or ottoman or blanket box at the foot of the bed etc.

This beautiful Victorian trunk boasts a warm rustic colour. As the Victorian flat-top chest boasts the original polish, it has a fantastic colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received.

Once you have confirmed you can accept delivery on the provisional delivery date, we will book the delivery in with our shippers and it then becomes a confirmed delivery date.

We will also provide you with our shippers’ contact details, in case you need to contact the driver on the day of delivery. It’s helpful if you can provide us with both the landline and mobile telephone number, in case the driver cannot reach you on one of the numbers on the day of delivery, they can contact you on your alternative number.
