Hand crafted in the 19th century, using panels carved in Renaissance style several hundred years prior, this large and useful chest is a wonderful storage piece. The panels are arranged in two tiers; the smaller, upper ones, crisply carved in a variety of scrolling, foliate designs. The four, large, lower panels display an urn and crown design and a foliate lyre design, flanked by rosette panels. It is a great, decorative piece.
