Circa 1850's New England Sailors Sea Chest. Original green paint. Original ships paintings on the front and inside lid. Rope handles intact. Inside painting is marked at the bottom of the painting. "Ship Witchcraft' Built at Chelsea 1851 William C. Rogers & Co. Boston."    44 inches long, 19 inches high, it is canted, which means the bottom splays out from 17 inches at the top of the chest, to 18 & 3/4 inches at the bottom. This was done to provide stability on the ship. Dovetailed. The pictures tell the story. It is a superb piece.  Part of my fathers and my collection.
