Surya Rutten

Very fine and authentic Indian Wedding Chest. Made by a craftsman, with beautiful copper inlay and lots of wood carvings among other things. This design was mainly used as a Wedding Chest for the trousseau and other valuables the bride would bring into the marriage, early last century. 
Measurements: 43 deep, 45 high, 75 wide. Material is hardwood, very likely to be teak.

Wedding Chest is in mint condition and a jewel for every type of interior, in this state very rare and sought for.  Chest has the usual signs of wear. Several spots were restored by a furniture maker. The flap hinge were practically perished and replaced solid copper hinges (which, in the eye of the seller, could still be aged). The spot the original hinges were attached to was damaged on the back and missing a few pieces. New pieces of wood were inlaid there. Outside of that, the chest remains entirely authentic.
The right block with copper inlay is missing 2 pieces of copper, but this was left alone. On photo no. 16, of the right flap hinge, there is something that looks like a crack in the wood (left of the hinge). However, this is not a crack, but a shallow scratch filled with mordant or wax, and only looks like one! Two perfect imperfections, so to speak.

The photos give a very good impression of the condition this chest is in, and make up part of the description.

Considering the size, pick-up is preferred, though shipping is possible ONLY in The Netherlands and within Europe. Outside of Europe, due to the weight, shipping is not possible! When shipped, chest will be packaged well and with Track and Trace.
