A Dutch colonial brass-mounted teak chest,Batavia, 18th century, with pierced foliate mounts to the corners and base, and pierced floral lock plate, brass bosses, bold carrying handles and later ebonised ball feet,160cm wide68cm deep80cm highChests were an important piece of furniture in the colonies. Chests of all types of wood were used to transport goods by ship, often these were reinforced with iron mounts. Sometimes the sizes of these chests were so large that they could barely be handled. It has been known to happen that ships were overloaded with extra chests and consequently sunk. In 1717, strict regulations were introduced specifying the size and the number of chests that were allowed to be taken on board. Chests from this period onwards were no wider than five feet (approximately 165cm) measured on the inside of the chest. The number and the size of the chests that were allowed to be taken varied according to rank. Officers and non-commissioned officers from the rank of sergeant were allowed the five foot trunk, lower ranks had to make to do with smaller chests. Most of the djatti chests that remain today were luxurious versions of the five foot chest. J Veenendaal, 'Furniture from Indonesia, Sri Lanka and India', Delft, 1985, pp.77-84.
