This antique trunk from England features an exquisitely hand-carved front facade with geometric shaped panels; adorned with column, diamond, oval and round medallion accents, with an arch-shaped center that gives the illusion of an entryway. Thoughtfully placed mother of pearl and bone inlays add further embellishment to this piece. This rectangular shaped trunk, with a top that opens to reveal its spacious interior for storage, has a full-length drawer at bottom, and is presented on a pair of raised bulb-carved feet at front, with block style feet at rear. The backside of this piece remains uncarved. This 19th century English chest is nicely sized at just over 5 feet in length. less
