Description from the seller

Beautiful and rare Armada chest from the 17th century, in nice and original condition. This chest is equipped with the original key. With dimensions of 38 cm high, 72 cm wide and 42 cm deep, this chest also offers two internal compartments for extra storage. The original key is supplied with one of the compartments. It is possible that the key also fits the second compartment, but I am not sure without risking forcing it. The left locking ring at the front of the chest is missing. Included is a nice extra padlock appropriate for the period.

To be retrieved in Amsterdam (NL)
Possibility to view by appointment beforehand.
