This is a very good example of a 19th century Zanzibar storage chest. The chest was created in the mid-19th century. The teak case is adorned with cut and open work brass strapping in addition to nail head decoration. The chest shows a deep natural patina. Minor sections of the brass strapping have been lost. The chest is further detailed with a series of small drawers along the bottom of the chest. The larger dimensions of the chest allow it to be used as a decorative element or placed where a table or case piece could be used. This is a very substantial piece of furniture which would add heft to any space. It would integrate well into Spanish or Italian design themes–even Gothic or Renaissance Revival would be comfortable with the chest.
