Description
This carved oak chest may have been made as a dower or wedding chest. It is simply made, as its flat sides also form its legs. The sides and chest front are carved with flower, lunettes and scroll patterns. Carved on the front are the date '1686' and the initials 'EJ'. The carved initials may signify that this was made to mark a marriage. The chest comes from Penpicillion, a small estate near Llansteffan. Carmarthenshire items of furniture of this date are rare.
