About the Item
A richly timeworn storage chest defined by its quiet monumentality and sculptural brass fittings. Crafted in solid hardwood and detailed with hand-cut brass strapping, the piece carries a powerful architectural presence—functioning as both a storage vessel and a decorative anchor within the room.
The chest’s generously scaled form rests on understated block feet, allowing the weight of the timber to visually ground the piece. Brass corner straps, escutcheons, and the central lock plate soften the otherwise linear silhouette, introducing a refined ornamental language shaped by traditional metalworking techniques. The surface reveals a deep, lived-in patina—subtle burnishings, tonal variations, and tactile markings that speak to generations of handling and use.
