Travel chest

Jeremy's grandfather used to work for Marconi in the West Indies. This is one of the travelling chests that came with him when he returned to England. You can certainly see that it's seen the world though it looks great in our sitting room and now houses our old records (which we never play any more).

Canon EOS 300D Digital Rebel
1/3s f/11.0 at 55.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Nice detail and tones of this chest. I will unlock it. What is inside??
I like the texture of the old key.

I keep my old 33's in one of those multi-coloured crates....
Lovely shot Gail - you and Tina were thinking the same today.

Wonderful story Gail and picture to match.
Lovely colour and texture and lock and key.
Excellent, thanks for sharing!

You don't get any of those in IKEA!

Beautifully shot, I love old wood!

The light has collected the mellow feel of the timber. Do you polish it with beeswax & savour that wonderful smell.
Guest 08-Jun-2005 21:14
Just the fact that you still have the key says a lot for its owners.
Nicely done the shadowing is neat too.

Lighting is excellent and you've captured the old wood of this chest very well.
Guest 08-Jun-2005 20:48
Beautiful wood and lovely warm light. They don't make them like that any more!

looks like a nice travel chest, a wooden one it seems (heavy i imagine), and very classic.

I love old wood....you've captured this beautifully....the stories this chest could tell....
Bill Miller08-Jun-2005 20:23
That's the way to travel. Lovely colours and textures in the wood. And, yes, 1 Vic St. (DTi) is where I hang out in London. Good to know the DTi has such good neighbours....
