Captain's Chest

16 H x 39 W x 17 D

​​Your Thos. Moser furniture is made from premium hardwood provided by nature. The unique characteristics and the subtle variations in grain and color are important elements in our designs. Great care is taken to skillfully match the individual boards that make up every piece of our furniture.

Our furniture is finished with oil and lacquer. After each piece of furniture is carefully hand-sanded, it receives a coat of our proprietary oil blend. A day’s drying time is allowed, and the piece is lightly sanded, ready for the final finish.

After oiling, our pieces are finished with catalyzed lacquer. This finish is water, solvent, and household chemical resistant and does not require routine maintenance.

To clean, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth. When necessary, furniture can be wiped with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Re-wipe any remaining moisture immediately with a dry cloth.

The Captain's Chest could pass for an original, with flared sides and a recessed cedar bottom made for stacking in close quarters. The exterior shows the finest work of our craftsmen, with dovetailed edges that interconnect to exacting specifications. Comprised of grain-matched hardwood planks, the chest is notable for its raw materials: the wood is integral to its beauty.

With handiwork of the craftsman revealed in a visible dovetail joint, ornamentation is derived from function rather than embellishment. The Chest derives its shape from the original, with flared sides and a recessed cedar bottom that allows for easy stacking – and inhibits the activity of unwanted pests.

Accessed via a hinged wooden top that extends beyond the boundaries of the case, the interior of the Captain's Chest is spacious. Offering room for storage of seasonal apparel, bedding or dining linens, its cedar base naturally impedes the work of hungry moths. What's stored in the chest will re-emerge unscathed, infused with the subtle scent of aromatic wood.

The chest is designed for easy movement, with brass handles situated at either end. It is superbly adaptable, and works in concert with any range of bedroom, dining room or living room décor.
