An unusual, late-16th century, iron-bound walnut chest

The single plank, iron-bound top with a crack and some worm damage. Fitted with the original hinges, opening to reveal a candlebox and secret compartment on the right hand side. Retaining original working lock and key. The front and sides decorated with the original ironwork, and handles. Excellent original colour and patina. Probably Spanish.
