Iron Bound Teak Chest From Gujarat - 19th Century Ancestor Figures 163 x 46 x 68This beautifully patinated iron bound chest is from Gujarat and dates to the early 19th century. It is constructed from teak wood. Most likely it was custom made for a wealthy family to stash away dowry, family treasures, or cash from the prying eyes of extended family members. The interior consists of a large storage space as well as a candle box compartment. A sturdy iron chain prevents the lid from falling fully open. Chests and boxes from India
