A lovely antique Victorian pine kist chest. We date this kist to the second half of the 19th century.
The kist comprises a large rear hinged lidded box. It has been painted black to the outer sides and the top surface has been covered in a green vinyl material with stud detail. There is further studwork decoration to the front of the chest.
There are metal handles on either side of the chest.
The interior has been lined with light green paper.
The kist has a height of 18.5″ (47cm), a width of 33.5″ (85cm) and a depth of 19″ (48cm).
This lovely kist remains in very solid condition with only minor surface markings commensurate with age and usage. There is an amount of wear and marks to the outer surfaces, and the lock is inoperable.
This remains a very stylish and functional kist which would function well as a toy storage box or a linen chest etc. It will continue to provide good service for many years to come.
