About the Item

Sailing ship chest, copper and pine made in Spain circa 1960 The sides are clad in hammered copper sheets, offering subtle golden highlights and an antique patina with shades of brown and verdigris. The exposed joints and rivets reinforce the piece’s authentic, handcrafted character. The lid’s decoration evokes the world of 19th-century merchant or exploration sailing ships, a theme particularly popular in the decorative arts of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In the 1960s, there was a widespread trend toward reviving traditional styles, driven by a desire for authenticity in objects and materials. The quality of the repoussé work, combined with the presence of a softwood frame and original casters, suggests the piece was made for domestic use. Today, this chest captivates with its warm aesthetic and nautical charm. It will easily find its place in a country home, a seaside house, or an eclectic setting, where it can serve equally well as a storage chest or an original coffee table. Its beautiful patina and nautical decor make it a decorative piece full of charm and character. Good vintage condition Shipping: 46 / 30 / 36 cm 5.4 kg
