This beautiful handmade iron chest was made in Nuremberg or Augsburg in the 17th century
They were made to hold valuables such as gold coins, jewels or maps. Starting in the 1800s, people started to refer to these chests as "Armada Chests" because they were found on old shipwreck sites and it was assumed that they belonged to the Spanish Armada (late 1500s). However, it was later determined that the boxes were of German craftsmanship starting only in the 1600s.

Germany 17th century, weathered but good condition with simple locking system that is no longer working and without key
