Antique Chest with Wood Pegs and Ornate Latches

By kimrusso, 27 May, 2014
Description

This chest was purchased from an Estate in Palm Beach, Florida. It is solid wood and approximately 4'L x 21" W x 17"H. The metal/brass latches vary in design as indicated by the pictures and the piece is clearly handmade with a few irregular notches, carvings, and a few square, wooden dowels or nails. The inside is more 'raw' wood than the outside, which has a much more polished finished. I am unable to locate any special markings or origin.

Thank you for any information you may have.

History
No history about the piece except it came from a large estate in Palm Beach, Florida (as indicated by the owners calling card left inside). The person who gave me the item said the seller understood from a family member that it was in the family for quite sometime and although they believed valuable, they were just looking to empty the contents of the house.
