A dowry chest or trunk was hand carved in Sweden around 1780, and has an excellent finish preserving warm antique patina.
There are losses, restorations and touchups over the centuries, plus replaced back feet, typical from damp stone floors.
Hewn fruitwood has hand planing marks on every surface. Front panels are delicate inlaid marquetry with birch and other hardwoods. Wrought iron hinges appear original.
