This beautiful chest boasts many fine features, including the Blue Tuirquin marble top and the intricate figuring to the veneer. But it's most unusual feature is the lock and key. The spade shaped pin requires an identically shaped key, as seen in the photos, rendering the drawers invincible to all but the most advanced burglars.
