We were told that these came from a ship many years ago, there were no other details given. These measure 14.25" wide, 5.5" deep, and 7.25" tall(not counting the height of the tenons.) These are hefty- they weigh about 5 pounds each. There are traces of old varnish, and lots of patina. Offered with no reserve, if you have time please visit our ebay store The Gonzo Antiquarian- thanks!!
