Meal chest or Arks were once used to store grain for bread making etc. The curved lid lifts off and could be turned upside down on a table-surface for kneading dough.
The simplicity and refinement is replicated from an original from the V&A. Made with oak cleft by wedge-and-mallet, this ark is now on public display at Tretower Court in South Wales.
