Sailor's Sea Chest, Tiger Maple

Sailor's Sea Chest, Tiger Maple

At sea or on land, sailors love to stow their belongings in our finest-kind Sailor's Sea Chest.

The ADRIANCE SAILOR’S SEA CHEST features beautiful matched-grain, wide boards hand-dovetailed at the corners for strength, as on 19th century sea chests.

Two holly, nautical, five-point stars are smartly inlaid into the front of the sea chest.

Traditional marlinespike seamanship is evident in the hand-knotted rope beckets, featuring coach-whipped bails, turk's heads, needle hitching and pinked leather washers.

Tapered cleats with hand-carved starwheels secure the rope beckets to the chest-ends above the centerline, providing a gimballed counterbalance when hoisting.

A handsome bullnose moulding is tenoned into the lid to protect and prevent warpage.

A beveled base moulding surrounds a rift pine, ship-lapped bottom.

Hand-finished with water-resistant marine varnish and waxed to a satin patina.
