Dated 1690 Oak Panelled Chest
A late 17th-century solid oak panelled chest, the front relief carved with floral and geometric decoration. The central panel bears the initials “T.S.” and the date 1690. Panelled sides and top. The lid is secured with wire hinges, and the chest is constructed using pinned mortise and tenon joints.
The date places it at the close of the 17th century, a period of transition in English furniture. While later William and Mary pieces moved toward lighter proportions, this example retains the weight and grounded character associated with earlier oak traditions.
