17 1/2 Inches High, 36 Inches Length

Circa 1850’s

A very fine sailor’s sea chest made of Camphor, the wood most desired by both sailors and collectors as it is the most durable and does not rot. The wood from which this chest is constructed has excellent grain and finish made better by dovetail construction and brass reinforcements at the corners. The ropework beckets are well made with polychrome detail.
