Decoration: Wrought Iron Chest is a single-use Recipe Paper in Windrose. Reading it permanently unlocks the Pirate Chest, crafted at the Workbench. The plan belongs to the Old World decoration set.
Recipe Papers are looted in the world: most often from chests in pirate camps, ruins in the Coastal Jungle, and points of interest scattered across the archipelago. Some merchants in Tortuga also rotate a small selection of plans through their stock. The paper is consumed when it is read. Reading the paper adds the listed entry to the relevant crafting station's recipe list permanently for that character, with no further fee.
Reading the paper unlocks the Pirate Chest at the Workbench. It is a heavy iron-bound chest in keeping with the Old World style, a fitting centerpiece for a captain's quarters or treasure room.
This recipe is part of the Old World set, a heavy timber-and-iron style fitting older European buildings. It sits alongside the other Old World plans such as Decoration: Clay Lamps, Decoration: Hunter's Cabinets, Decoration: Iron Utensils, and Decoration: Watches and Globe. Collecting and reading every paper in the same building set gives a coherent visual style across walls, Furniture, and decoration pieces.
Drops most reliably from looted chests in Pirate Camps and ruined points of interest, with occasional appearances in cargo crates from defeated NPC Ships and in random trader stock at Tortuga. Once read, the unlocked entry is bound to the character that read it; share-base members must each find and read their own copy.

The Pirate Chest is a decorative piece in the Old World style. Like other placed decorations, it helps furnish the interior of a base; see the Comfort System for how finishing a homestead affects its overall feel.
Carry duplicates as trade bait. Until a base stockpiles every recipe paper for a building set, an extra copy is a strong barter chip with other crews.
Read papers at a base, not on a ship. Some plans add bulk decoration sets that flood the crafting menu, and being at a workshop helps preview new entries immediately.
Once read, the unlock is permanent for that character. Reading a second copy does nothing, so a duplicate paper is best traded or sold.
