Indo-Dutch Jackfruit & Brass Chest From Ceylon/Sri-Lanka -18thC
This majestic antique Indo-Dutch chest harks back to the colonial days and the 'Spice Wars'. Originally from colonial Ceylon (modern-day Sri Lanka), it dates from the middle of the 18th century. It is beautifully constructed from jackfruit wood with ebonised beading and chased decorative brasswork.
We love the beautiful simplicity of this chest contrasted with its intricate and flamboyant brass decoration. Doubtless, it would have been owned by a wealthy merchant who was part of the Dutch East India Company, often abbreviated to VOC (Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie / United East India Company) which was formally dissolved in 1799 due to the bankrupcy. This dates the chest earlier than 1799 and it's likely the trader would have traveled between Sri Lanka, South India, and Europe. It has had some repairs over the years. The lid's front beading has been replaced with ebonised oak within the past 100 years.
A dramatic addition to any room and a good height for a coffee table. Perfect for storing bedding. An impressive centerpiece for any room which comes with a working lock and key. This is one of our favourite Indo-Dutch chests we've had in our collection and perhaps the oldest.
