17th century Portuguese hardwood chest with decorative metalware.

1650 to 1700 Portugal.

Medium: Brazilian chestnut.

This striking chest is made from a Brazilian hardwood which I have not been able to identify. The color and figuring of the timber together with the Classic form and ornamentation supplemented by the elaborate ironwork create a simple, bold aesthetic with gravitas.

The lid has a solid moulded edge with a small patch on the front. The front has a large moulded panel with a centered elaborate shaped iron escutcheon with the decorative iron hasp locates into.

Below are three small drawers all with moulded panels and decorative iron handles. Faced with a rectangular skirt on later bun feet. The sides with large decorative iron handles. Exceptional color and patina.

Dimensions

Height: 73.00 cm (28.74 inches), Width: 113.00 cm (44.49 inches), Depth: 66.00 cm (25.98 inches)
