This antique limber chest would have been used by the British army in India in the late 19th century. These chests were extremely sturdy and made of hardy teak wood bound with iron. The average limber chest was designed to be able to carry over three times its weight in ammunition.

Still a very functional piece, and now a truly unique decorative antique it is the perfect size for storage or use as a side table. The patinated teak and iron would fit into a range of interior styles.

The interior consists of a large space with a fitted candle box, and a sturdy chain to prevent the lid from falling open.
