Description

This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

Nuremberg or privateer's chest in riveted iron plate.

Beautiful polychromy of birds and flowers in a variety of bright colors.
Opening the chest reveals its original ornamental plate, finely chased with four mermaids each holding a flower. Two discreetly cut hearts. An arched lever-handle holds the lid in place.
The 6-bolt locking system made it tamper-proof, with the key opening the mechanism. Small box inside for more precious items, opening with a second key.
Imposing wrought-iron carrying handles on the sides.

This chest features a padlock that is very unusual on privateer chests. This precious piece of chiselled ironwork is opened by a key with a special bit for added security.
A chest fitted with a complex lock system that served as a mobile safe. The one presented here is of above-average size and weight.

From the Nuremberg region, Germany.
17th century. Original polychromy.
