Large Original Painted Iron Bound Trunk
Ref: 2175
A smart and impressive and large antique pine coffer or possibly travelling trunk or church safe box with original charcoal black or greeny black mineral paint with plentiful decorative iron strapping. Very good original condition, double handles at either end suggesting this may have carried some considerable weight and these have decorative backplates, all intact. Three clasps for lock at front again suggesting this box was for personal or valuable items and used or travelling in public spaces. Lovely polished wax finish.
