An extremely rare Elizabethan Coffer Dated 1589 and initialled F C using bog Oak. Having small panelled construction throughout. The applied mouldings surrounding the panels to the front are of wide form, typical of this early period. The hinges are replaced as is one narrow bottom board, the plinth to the base added probably in the 18th Century. Two small panels to the top have been replaced many years ago. The padlock attached to the front appears to be quite an interesting early example.
