Attractive Small Antique Victorian Painted Pine Kist Chest Trunk Blanket Toy Box

A lovely small antique Victorian pine kist chest. We date this kist to the second half of the 19th century.

The chest sits on a slightly protruding plain plinth base.

The kist comprises a large lidded box.

There are metal handles on either side of the chest and it is fitted with a lock (key supplied).

The chest is presently painted in a dark green paint, this is showing a bit of wear with some chips and marks to the paint, primarily around the base.

The kist has a height of 18″ (46cm), a width of 32″ (82cm) and a depth of 19″ (49cm).

This lovely pine kist remains in a good solid condition with only minor surface markings commensurate with age and usage. There are some marks to the wood inside the kist and the outer handles are showing a bit of oxidisation. There are holes around the lock indication that a hasp lock or such has been fitted at some point in the past.

This remains a very stylish and functional pine 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.
