Old chest with carved torch. coat of arms or army regiment emblem ?

I can't help you with the torch symbolism, but you'd have to be crazy to simply throw that chest away. LOL!

Hello David, No, that’s for sure! 🙃
thank you for your message,
clearly we are in the contrast between the modern woman who wants everything to be clean, zen and bright at home and me who tends to collect everything, repair and then store.
A ''slight'' Diogenes syndrome...😁😅
