Iron Bound Teak Chest From Gujarat - 19th Century Ancestor Figures Traces of the original paintedThis beautifully patinated iron bound chest is from Gujarat and dates to the early 19th century. It is constructed from teak wood. Most likely it was custom made for a wealthy family to stash away dowry, family treasures, or cash from the prying eyes of extended family members. The interior consists of a large storage space as well as a candle box compartment. A sturdy iron chain prevents the lid from falling fully open. Chests and boxes from India
