This iron bound teak chest from Goa is not only a stunning piece, but also has a rich history behind it. In the 19th century, these chests were used to store valuables such as textiles, jewelry, and cash, as it was not yet common to keep all money in banks. These strong boxes were custom-made, often commissioned by the head of the family. This particular chest boasts a beautiful patina and a sturdy design, complete with a chain to prevent the lid from falling open.
