A ships chest. Wide 90 cm. High 32 cm. Maximal floor size 38 cm. The flaring shape is typical for a Dutch ships chest. Painted in front with a rural scene featuring a house, a man crossing a bridge and a pond with two swans. The paintwork is in very good condition without restaurations. The chest still has its original key operated lock and the two original hinges. On both front and back the chest is fortified with forged iron decorations. A chest of this quality and conservation is extremely rare. Low Countries around 1750.
