Late 19th Century British Colonial Style Safari Wicker Storage Chest
An exceptionally rare and wonderfully eccentric Late 19th Century British Colonial style safari storage chest or trunk featuring woven wicker cladding, bentwood scroll detailing, faux zebra patterned side panels, and original casters.
This soulful piece embodies the layered charm of collected tropical interiors with a look that feels equal parts plantation estate, safari camp, and Old Florida eccentricity. The lift-top lid opens to generous interior storage while three front drawers provide additional functionality.
Rich with age and patina, this piece proudly shows its history through worn surfaces, breaks, losses, scuffs, fraying, and imperfections consistent with decades of use. The aged wicker, distressed finish, and weathered character are precisely what give this chest its undeniable presence and authenticity.
This is not a pristine piece nor should it be. It is a statement piece for those who appreciate character, history, and interiors that feel curated rather than manufactured.
