Large and Beautiful Green Painted Nautical Chest dated 1841

A very large and heavy 19th century pitch pine chest which has been beautifully painted with an oval cartouche showing a clipper at full sail and with the name Captain T. Bly. Each panel painted with the Royal Navy initials and the front painted with the date 1841 and Plymouth.
