Large Polychromed Nuremberg Chest

Nuremberg chest or corsair chest in riveted iron plates. Beautiful polychromy in green, silver and golden tones. Also painted inside, it was a question of keeping the iron against corrosion but this polychromy is also an element of decoration. By opening the chest we discover its beautiful original plate with a richly and finely chiseled jump of many fantastic and sea monsters. Lock system with 7 bolts which made it inviolable, its key opening the mechanism. Small box inside for the most precious objects opening with a second key. Wrought iron carrying handles. Safe with a complex locksmith system that served as a mobile safe. The one we present has dimensions and a weight higher than the average. From Nuremberg region, Germany. Seventeenth time. Later polychromy.
