Description
An oak-panelled dower chest. Chests were generally used to hold clothes or bed-linen and upon marriage, women were presented with linen and blankets in a wooden chest which became known as the 'dower chest'. The lid of this chest is carved with the letters and date 'L.A.K.A, 1671'. These were the initials of Lewis Anwyl and Katherine Anwyl, Parc, Llanfrothen, who married in 1671.
