<p>[QUOTE="808 raver, post: 9803319, member: 4654"]Unfortunately the lock is missing and all that left is the escutcheon, I suspect this chest is old but you will need a expert to date and place this chest from the construction and moldings. I would be cautious in paying someone to look at it because in my view I don't think the chest is very valuable, the missing lock harms the value a lot and even with a lock these have seen quite a plunge in value over the last 20 years, that doesn't mean it isn't a useful and nice piece just there are a lot of these about and not many people buying them ATM.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
