An attractive panelled mule chest. A mule chest is a hybrid between a coffer and a chest of drawers. It features a hinged lid for the top storage compartment and two drawers. The name is believed to come from the fact that the piece is a hybrid like the mule, or because the bottom drawers were historically used to store mules, the period term for slippers. England, late 18th century.
