Lot 144:
A Late 19th Century English Oak Portable chest
Description
A Late 19th Century English Oak Portable chest, featuring a rectangular form with a hinged lid. The utilitarian design is constructed from dark-stained oak, presenting a small metal escutcheon on the front and brass-toned metal hinges. The interior reveals a lighter, unadorned wood. English newspaper clippings found inside, with partial headlines such as “Sky’s the limit on investment earnings” and “dog killer,” indicate a later date of use or storage and do not necessarily date the chest itself.
