DB109
It is believed that this Dower chest was carved for Mrs Beatrice Agnew (nee Symonds) of Oatlands.

Nellies scrapbook has a note saying “Louis Agnew”. We think this refers to Luis Lempriere Agnew of Oatlands, Tasmania who married Beatrice (Irene) in October 1922.

The Mercury, Tasmania: Monday 30th October 1922, page 1.

The family no longer own the Oatlands property and it is unknown what happened to this chest.
