AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Opulently hand-carved Eastern chest made from solid palisander wood (rosewood) - approx. Mid-Century
Beautiful and notably heavy hardwood chest with a highly detailed hand-carved relief on the lid.
The detailed depiction shows a finely worked historic cityscape, fortress or palace with a characteristic tree in the foreground.
The front and sides are richly decorated all around with a continuous and rhythmic pattern of stylized floral motifs and arch friezes.
The chest is entirely made of solid palissander wood (rosewood), as clearly visible from the beautiful, blazing natural grain on both the interior and underside.
The box is divided into 2 sections with removable insert tray.
The underside is also equipped with integrated wooden corner legs.
On the front there is a built-in lock with a neatly recessed metal lock plate embedded in the wood.
Equipped with sturdy, in-the-wood recessed metal hinges on the back.
Ideal to use as a decorative object, sewing box, or collection box.
Material: Solid palissander wood (rosewood) and metal
Weight: approx. 2700 grams (2.7 kg)
