Antique Wooden Chest/trunk From The 1700 ' S

Wooden trunk/chest. Unrestored condition. Purchased it from an antique dealer in England a few years back. I had it inspected by a local antique furniture restorer who estimated the age around the 1700s. I then had another antique appraiser look at it and she estimated it to be from the 1700s possibly of Spanish origins. All of the wooden boards are hand sawn as can be seen in the pictures. The metal brackets, hinges, nails, straps, and hardware are all hand forged. Very solid construc...tion. The small feet and wooden strip along the bottom appear to have been added later. The appraiser came to an estimated value between $3200-$3800. These pieces do not come along often and are extremely rare. I hate to see it go. buyer to arrange pick up or shipping. The trunk is 5.5' long, 2.5' wide, and 1.5' tall.
