A lovely small teak box dating from the late 19th / early 20th century. It is good quality with dovetail joints and a wonderful rich colour and grain. It has large metal carrying handles a hinged lid that opens to reveal a storage area. It was likely a naval or sailor's chest used for storing documents or personal items.
It is in good condition for its age. It is strong and sturdy and generally clean and tidy inside. There are signs of age and use, some general knocks, marks and small chips on the edges but nothing detrimental. It does not come with a key. It has been cleaned and gently polished and is ready for use.
