Naval-style Keybox
This keybox, from our naval-style wooden
furniture range, provides convenient storage for
keys and padlocks, with room on the bottom shelf
for a torch, and a total of 18 hooks. The style is
similar to the decor that would have been found in
the Captain's cabins of 19th century sailing ships,
which were designed as havens for concentration
on the vital matters of navigation and meteorology.
In contrast to the spartan, cramped conditions
experienced by the crew, these cabins were fitted
out in beautifully finished mahogany or camphor
wood. Our range, inspired by the smaller pieces
such as writing desks and chart cases, is made
from solid (not plywood) polished sheesham wood
with chunky brass corners and other fittings.
The keybox measures 11.5x7x3".
