About the Item

An early 20th century carved hardwood storage chest from Afghanistan, retains its original iron fittings and hardware. The rectangular form is defined by a deeply patinated surface and a geometric carved border, characteristic of regional woodworking traditions of the Hindu Kush. The forged iron strap work, hinges, and lock plate exhibit utilitarian craftsmanship while providing structural reinforcement. The rich surface wear and oxidized metalwork attest to its prolonged use and age, offering an evocative example of early 20th century rural Afghan craftsmanship.
