1634 has been giftedto the Methven<br />
Museum and is on display.<br />
The chest is in goodcondition and<br />
is of veryhigh quality.<br />
It has beenevaluatedand<br />
authenticated by English furniture<br />
expert Dr Bernard Cotton, who says<br />
its design and embellishment is in<br />
keepingwith the 1634 date carved on<br />
it.<br />
Thatdateand the initials IH are<br />
assessed as beingoriginal to the<br />
piece.<br />
The chest has framed and panelled<br />
constructiononthefront sides, rear<br />
and top, withthe framing elements<br />
all featuringdecorative mouldings.<br />
The original fish tailhinges are<br />
nailed with‘‘rosehead’’nails and<br />
cleated overinthe bottompart, but<br />
the nails have beenreplaced with<br />
screws in theupper section.<br />
The chest has been offered as a<br />
permanent gift to theMethven<br />
Historical Society andfor display<br />
and storage by Methven Museumby<br />

had it beforehim .<br />

granddaughter of one of the first<br />
settlersinMethven, WilliamMorgan,<br />
and his wife Isobel.<br />
