[QUOTE="Dhruv Chevli, post: 4885962, member: 78685"]I have been able to get additional photos of this chest. Please see the link below. I couldn't upload them here they're too big. I assure you the link is safe! [URL]https://imgur.com/a/cJyue0G[/URL] This is what the seller said when I asked for photos [I]The draw linings and bottom boards have been replaced. The original lining boards were most likely made from softwood such as pine as they often were, it's likely that they were a victim of woodworm so were replaced, probably in the late 19th Century. All other parts of the Coffer are original and in good solid condition including the ring hinges. The feet have had no hight added or repairs as is often the case. The carved front is a wonderful and fine example of 17th Century reginal work. [/I][/QUOTE]
