Title: Valuation on oak chest
Post by: K4trn on February 08, 2015, 09:58:26 AM

I've inherited this English oak chest from my family but have no idea on its worth.
I am moving house and would like to sell this piece but don't want to get ripped off (or my hopes up!)

It's very solid and in nice condition with three brass hinges set inside the box

If anyone can help give me an idea of value, or if anyone is interested in buying it, please let me know.
Located in Hampshire, UK

Thanks Katrina

Looks newer,,  maybe mid century blanket/storage chest !! Here in the U.S it would sell for around $100. to $150. if in excellent condition !! No idea of sale prices in the UK !! Look on ebay and see what they are selling for !!  That's a good indicator of what it will bring !!

Thanks Awhitetriangle for piping in with the information.  I have never heard of "Old Charm" and found their history interesting.
