A simple, honest and sturdy piece with a wonderful, warm golden glow about it. Standing on four smoothly turned, angled legs, the slope-sided box is manufactured from 20mm thick yellowwood. Handles on both sides to facilitate lifting and moving the box. Also seen in the photograph, is the 6 compartment accessory tray, which sits on a lip, running around the interior of the box. Box has ornately detailed brass hinges and lock plate. Box is fitted with a robust check strap to keep it in the open position when required, and prevent over opening which could lead to damage. This piece is perfect armchair/sofa height for sewing, knitting or other craft work. Piece is in truly superb condition, does however require a new lock mechanism. Judging by the condition, I do not believe this piece has ever been used for the intended purpose.
Actual dimensions on the piece are; floor to box top 56cm, side to side 48.5cm wide, and front to back 26.5cm deep. The accessory tray is 5cm high, 32.5cm wide, and 21cm deep.
