Chest made of fir wood, crafted in the late 18th century.
The structure features a front divided into three square panels, each decorated with geometric and shaped motifs executed in engraving and enhanced by dark-painted fillets, with red accents along the uprights and frames.
The upper section, hinged at the back with wrought-iron hardware, projects slightly from the main body. The front rests on a molded base with a mixed-line profile, further decorated with painted scroll motifs integrated into the wooden surface.
The interior is divided by a small side partition, intended to separate the contents, in accordance with a functional design common in the 18th century. The original hardware includes hand-crafted hinges and a shaped iron lock plate.
