About this item
This beautifully handmade wooden chest is made in our own workshop in Warwickshire, UK. The chest is individually prepped, assembled and finished by hand to give each one it’s own unique character to replicate the look of old vintage shipping trunks. It’s worth noting that this item is made from carefully sourced, high quality Quebec yellow pine not to be confused with cheaper European white/red pine. The planks we use are very wide so you get to appreciate the full grain pattern and they are a full 1 inch (25mm) thick, not 18mm or less like many others use. Being made from new materials it is solid and you can be sure it will last a lifetime as it is rot and worm free unlike others available made from used pallets, etc.
This versatile piece of furniture has a number of uses… Blanket box, coffee table, toy box, or even stand it on its end to use as a unique cupboard!
As mentioned it is hand finished with 2 coats of ‘Tudor Oak’ wax which really brings out the character and gives a lovely smooth feel with a subtle shine. For other colours please see our other listings.
The dimensions are approx – 80cm(L) x 48cm(H) x 45cm(D). Bespoke sizes available by request. Please contact us for a quote.
The top is hinged and has a hasp and staple so the chest can be locked with the use of a padlock. It also conveniently has quality 14mm hemp rope handles on both sides to make it easier to move around the home and for added decoration.
