A Dutch colonial brass and copper mounted teak chest. With pierced mounts showing stylized lions and masks, bold carrying handles to the sides, and a pierced lockplate with bird motif. The chest sits on a two portable feet also with brass and copper nail heads. Original key for chest. The high quality of the decoration suggests it belonged to a person of high rank, likely a ships captain or island governor. This is a very fine example of this type of chest from Indonesia or Sri Lanka, Dutch East Indies, early to mid 18th century.<\/p>\n

Note: Chests were an important piece of furniture in the colonies. Chests of all types of exotic wood were used to transport goods by ship, often these were re-enforced with bronze and brass mounts. Only high ranking officers of the East India Company would have owned the best quality chests.<\/p>\n
