Description

In about 1780, this chest was made by hand by a skilled carpenter in the Palembang, South Sumatra province in Indonesia, under Dutch Colonial influence.

It was made to house the dowry of a bride from a wealthy family. Today, it still has the original handles, hinges, paintwork and gilding.

Originally priced at £995, now £600.
