    Picked this beauty up from an auction. I’ve never bought a wooden chest like this before, as I’m more fond of trunks with hardware. I fell in love with this one, though, and think I got it for a steal. Auctioneer claimed it’s 18th century but I’m not entirely sure!

      I agree with PhilDMorris. Has The Far East, 20th century written all over it.
