Description: 17th Century Charles I Oak Desk Box Country of Origin: EnglandCirca: 1631 This fine 17th-century oak chest is a superb example of traditional English craftsmanship. The front panel is adorned with intricately carved "S" scrolls and stylized leafy motifs, a common decorative feature in regional furniture from this period, and an etched "RR" and "1631." The design is deeply carved, showcasing the skill of the maker and adding a sense of depth and movement to the piece. Constructed from solid oak, the chest boasts a rich, aged patina that reflects its centuries of use. The sides are plain, characteristic of the utilitarian nature of such chests, while the top is simple with iron strap hinges that suggest early, hand-forged craftsmanship. The interior is rough-hewn, further supporting its rustic origins. The chest likely hails from Yorkshire, a region renowned for its robust oak furniture and distinctive carving styles. This chest represents a blend of practicality and beauty, making it a desirable item for collectors of early British furniture, particularly those with an interest in vernacular or folk art.Dimensions: 11"H x 25"W x 19"D Please contact me with any additional questions.
