Tea chest, Pieter Adolf Brune, 1785 Canvas Print
The rectangular wooden box is divided into three compartments from the inside by means of two wooden sliders. Both the interior and the sliders are covered with blue velour. It is encased in a silver holder that has a hinged lid, containing the loose wooden lid of the box. The holder rests on four hollow vaulted, fluted legs, closed at the top and bottom by profile edges. It has a bottom of smooth silver but is open on all other sides. The four sides of the holder of the coffin each show a field of angular guilloches against a background of railings with rosettes, surrounded by an edge of similar, smaller-scale railings. At the front, the decoration is interrupted by the keyhole, which is closed by a movable cast plate in the form of a trophy of music books and instruments hung on a ribbon, a torch and leaf wreaths and garlands. The new blue velour cover is arranged in such a way that the lock is covered on all sides. The four sides of the holder of the lid are openwork with angular guilloches. The same edge runs around the top of the lid, at the corners interrupted by imposed cast square plates with rosettes. Inside is a raised field, decorated like the sides of the holder of the coffin. Many details are engraved on all sides. The angular, profiled handle on the lid hinges in two round holders resting on square plates, all with profile edges. Pearl frames have been fitted along the lower edge of the legs and all edges of the holder except the lower edge of the lid, around the raised field, along the edges of the handle and around the plates on which the holders of the handle rest (small areas are missing). Three rectangular buses fit into the interior.
