A heavy, satisfying piece — the kind of object that anchors a room before it does anything else. Built in northern India in the traditional dowry-chest format, with solid hardwood construction sheathed in stamped brass panels, bronze straps, and rows of hand-set rivets along the seams.
The spade-shaped escutcheon and latch still work; the original wheeled feet still roll, after a fashion. The brass has gone the warm, uneven color of a long life — bright at the corners, darker where hands have rested. Centuries of grain show through where the metal stops.
Reads as storage and sculpture at once. We've seen it work beautifully at the foot of a bed for blankets, in an entry for keepsakes, or in a family room as a low cocktail surface. Likely 19th to early 20th century; substantial in weight, so plan placement accordingly.
