FAQs

A coffer bach, translated as little chest in Welsh, is a traditional miniature coffer produced in Wales primarily during the 17th and 18th centuries, often used as a marriage or dowry gift to hold precious items or documents.

These pieces are predominantly constructed from solid native quarter-sawn oak, featuring traditional joinery such as pegged mortise and tenon frames, hand-planed panels, and frequently incorporate hand-forged iron or brass hardware.

Authenticity is determined by examining the timber for hand-tool marks, period-appropriate timber shrinkage, hand-cut dovetails in the internal drawers, and genuine oxidisation and wear consistent with age rather than artificial distressing.

This piece can be placed atop a sideboard, console table, or chest of drawers to add historical texture and practical enclosed storage to modern living spaces or hallway entrances.

Maintain timber health by keeping the item away from direct heat sources and dramatic humidity fluctuations, occasionally treating the wood with traditional beeswax to nourish the patina without sealing the pores.
