the stand associated.
Height 20 x width 25 1/2 x depth 19 inches.

Sturdy and fine condition; a few age cracks in the marquetry and normal wear from use. The stand is later. Unsure of the exact age of the chest; it may have been re-built from 19th century parts or it might be early-to-mid 20th century. It appears to have age but is decorative; it is not a fully-original chest. The interior box dimensions are: height 7 58 x width 24 x depth 16 1/4 inches.
