This lovely Welsh box/chest is worth a closer look.
It has some many attributes firstly the colour and patina is lovely,
Secondly it has a secret drawer the two small drawers pull out by turned handles and then if you pull out the drawer divider there is a drawer behind it, was this for storing jewellery or sovereigns.......?
Thirdly lift up the lid and there is a label to the underside of the lid saying,'This chest was made by your great great grandfather Henry Williams (1804-1871) of Peel Gardens Abergele for his wife Mary. The wood of which it is made came from a tree in Peel Gardens".
Unusual to know both the maker the owner and where the oak came from,
What a gem!
