Description:
This is a good quality antique English early 18th century Georgian oak coffer, of primitive design, boasting its original carvings, with small proportions, circa 1700 - 1720, in excellent clean original condition. The oak chest is constructed with a triple panel top, within a
... moulded and reeded frame. The front of the oak trunk displays a primitive design, retaining the original lunette carvings along the top rail, with twin inset panels below, separated by a moulded mullion and stiles (feet) of different widths we think the fact that the front is not symmetrical, adds to its primitive character. The lid opens on its original iron loop hinges to reveal a spacious interior, which features an internal oak candle box and lid on the right-hand side. The interior is clean and dry and offers plenty of practical storage space. The Georgian oak coffer also retains its original oak floor. The lid is secured by a working steel hasp, striking plate and a restored working lock and key. The coffer stands on the original stiles (feet). The back of the coffer retains its original rough-hewn panels along with the original floor and the frame is constructed with traditional pegged mortice and tenon joints. Overall, this Georgian oak coffer boasts a stunning colour; as it retains its original patination, built up from hundreds of years of cleaning and polishing.
