Chests were important pieces of furniture for VOC functionaries who had to travel a great deal and often changed posts. This chest with drawers and a larger compartment at the top is very practical. In addition, it is quite handsome thanks to the exotic woods of which it is made. Such polished and light furniture was popular, as were carved ebony objects, for instance the crib on display elsewhere in this gallery.
