Collection of Chest Draws

avatar

I am always very fascinated with these antic wooden furniture. On my trip to Switzerland at one of the Museums I found this treasure. Oh m god this whole collection was truly mind blowing. Honestly I wanted to steal them and get to my home. This collection of Chest Draws is a real treasure. This collection comes from between the 12th and the 15th century. In those times these chest draws were used in transport of the royal items. I must say what lifestyle the Royals of those times must have had. Crazy to even think in today's times any such things happening.

With times their fashion also changed.

This looks like a story telling on the box

This one has a lot of brass use also on top of the box

Come of these boxes looks way older than all the others, like the next 4. These are so huge that one could even sleep in it.

These pieces of furniture are fabulous. At some time when they were common in almost every home no one valued them but nowadays again I see people having a desire to get these fine pieces of furniture. I remember at my aunt's place there were couple of chest draws, some very good ones. In olden days these were common storage boxed and they always used the best wood, unlike today. But in our home no one valued them and they were all sold off one by one. I was a kid had no sense of these things then. But today I wish that hope they could have preserved some pieces, would have been such a delight to have in mu home space.

What do you think of these olden days furniture. I am totally in love with them.

Thank you for visiting my blog. 👼🏻👼🏻💖💖🌹🌺🌸

The chest draws are beautiful.The draws are still intact except one which got little bit fade.The wood they used must be of good quality.Varnishing has made them long lasting.The museum has great collection indeed.

Look at the quality of the wood, after centuries also it shines, and look at today's furniture in 2 years it starts breaking down.
