An important 17th century, painted oak chest, attributed to William Searle or Thomas Dennis.

With a triple panel front, the two outer panels carved with the lozenge design flanking the centre panel arcaded with rose and leaf. Still retaining much of the original polychromes in red and blue. In very good condition and fantastic colour. This is a true collectors piece.

Note: Two other Searle / Dennis attributed chests pictured below (ex Marhamchurch Antiques stock) showing these are all from the same workshop.
