<p>[QUOTE="Aquitaine, post: 319076, member: 602"]Hi! My SIL just brought this chest up from their basement to use as a coffee table!! It's never been painted, just stained. Just some plain hinges inside, which is pretty clean, 'ditty box' inside also seems like it might have been added later as I thought the wood looked like it was a bit newer.....but I could be wrong too. The handles I'm hoping might help date the chest....they are a cast metal I believe....of a woman's face....she has a cross of some sort on her chest....not sure if it's her hair or a crown on top of her hair.....the chest sits on 4 metal castors. I'm guessing maybe 1890-1910???? The chest measures 35" x 17" x 15.875". The lid is a bit larger intentionally. Decent dovetailing....sorry, I only got one image of that.....and the chest got too near someone who was painting with a roller....you'll see some spatter!!!!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/redface.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" /> It does have a nice old lock in it, but no key....I don't think she'd want one anyway!!!! She'd just lose it like I might!!!! There is NO writing anywhere at all in, on or underneath, anywhere!!!!!! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ANY DEFINING INPUT WOULD BE GRATEFULLY RECEIVED, and of course, as always, THANK YOU SO MUCH in advance!!!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]106060[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]106061[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]106062[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]106063[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]106064[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
