Product Information for Vintage Merchant's Desk 569
SOLD Old merchant’s desk with four long drawers. The chest would have been painted green by its owner and over time it has faded naturally.
Our hardwood desks, chests and trunks are unusual and each differs in size, style, finish and the number of compartments inside them.
They would make a great feature in a living room, bedroom or in a study.
These distinctive old chests would make beautiful jewellery or memory boxes, or a great place to put your valuables.
Indian merchants would have originally used these authentic old wooden desks for keeping money, valuables, heirlooms, notes and records. They can still be seen being used by older merchant's in old traditional markets in Rajasthani cities such as Jaipur and Jodhpur.
We also have antique brass padlocks available to complement our old wooden chests and trunks.
Size: W76cm x D47 x H36 (30" x 18.5" x 14")
