<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 2705915, member: 2844&quot;]Love the chest, Aqui. It looks like a sea chest to me, and it never had feet or a bracket base. I have never seen sea chests with feet, I would think feet were much too dainty for something to store rough equipment.</p><p>It could be European, maybe even Dutch.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie75" alt=":playful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>These sea chests were not owned by the men, they were used to store the equipment and materials used to treat the rigging. (I am sure there is an appropriate word for the procedure and materials.) The rope-themed handles are a bit of a giveaway.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie75" alt=":playful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> And yes, the handles are original, no replacement, as was suggested earlier.</p><p>Most of these chests didn&#039;t need to be big, but they needed to be stable, which accounts for the shape. The till and the drawers were for different tools, brushes, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Love the word becket btw.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
