Immense iron "armada" (Nuremburg) chest, fully operational and intact, European, 1500s-1600s. Approx. 150 pounds, 39-1/2" x 22" x 22". The largest and most complete iron chest we have ever offered, well preserved and impressive, the steel plate under the lid (covering the locking mechanism) very ornate with carved and engraved design showing humanlike figures (men and women, the former with conquistador helmets and the latter with bare breasts), all with mermaid bodies complete with claws and tails and wings, the lock itself with twelve bolts that all move at the same time when the key (modern reproduction) is turned in the lock on top, prop bar and small inner box on left side (with its own key) intact and functional, false lock and strap-loops in front, and C-shaped handles on sides, coated black all over (except for the steel plate inside), with modern (15" tall) stand for keeping it up off the ground. (Packing and shipping to be invoiced separately.)
