Pair of stackable chests

Pair of chestnut chests with steel fittings.

This type of everyday chest has always existed. Sources attest it under the Roman Empire, and chests were still made this way in the last century.

The particular feature of this pair is that the chests were designed to stack and nest, to make transport and storage easier.

Like all my chests, their height corresponds to a normal seat (45 cm, the standard height of a bench) and they are assembled in the historical and traditional way with pegged mortise and tenon joints. Only the ironwork is nailed, with forged nails.

These chests can be made in many species of wood, carved, with or without ironwork…
