This antique 18th century oak mule chest is a rare and highly distinctive piece, showcasing both unique design and traditional craftsmanship. Made from solid oak, it is of good quality and features a rich, warm colour with a magnificent grain that brings depth and character to the piece.
What sets this mule chest apart is its unusual and cleverly designed construction. Unlike typical examples, the lid is completely removable rather than hinged, offering a more flexible way to access the interior. Even more uncommon are the doors located on each side of the chest, allowing you to reach the contents inside without lifting the lid—an exceptionally practical and thoughtful feature that reflects the ingenuity of the period.
The front of the chest is fitted with two spacious drawers at the base, each adorned with decorative brass handles that add a touch of elegance to the overall design. It stands firmly on square legs, providing a solid and balanced presence.
Beautifully aged with a gorgeous patina, this mule chest is in good condition and would make a striking and functional addition to any traditional or period-inspired interior. With its rare features and timeless style, it is not only a practical storage piece but also a true collector’s item.
