Object Description

A very charming 17th-century oak deeds box with deep carved decoration to the freize. The box is very well made for the period with visible through dovetails.

Originally the box would have had two locks, one to the left and one to the right-hand side, this is how we know that it is a deed box.
The idea behind the two locks is that you would have required two key holders to open it. One of the locks obviously failed at some point or perhaps the key was misplaced. One of the original locks, now in the centre secures the lid.
