FAQs

A six-plank coffer is a simple form of chest constructed from six individual boards of timberone for the base, one for the lid, two for the ends, and two for the front and backtypically joined with dovetails or tongue-and-groove joints.

Traditional coffers are predominantly constructed from quarter-sawn English oak, utilizing hand-split boards, pegged mortise and tenon joints, and forged iron strap hinges and locks.

Authentic pieces exhibit signs of age such as hand-adzed tool marks, irregular board thicknesses, iron-stained wood around hand-wrought nails, and natural shrinkage cracks rather than uniform machine processing.

An antique coffer functions well as a foundational coffee table in a modern living space or placed at the foot of a bed, introducing natural texture and historical contrast to clean lines.

Preservation involves maintaining stable indoor humidity levels away from direct heat sources and applying microcrystalline wax periodically to nourish the dry wood without sealing the grain.
