The lid has a moulded front and rear with chip-carved edges, joined to the box with pin hinges. The front has a bold and deeply-carved running floral ornament of exceptional quality, above the original idiosyncratic owner''s initials ''SH'', and with chip-carved edges.

The protruding sides are raised on shaped ''feet''.The coffer has the most wonderful untouched historical finish.North-east Wales, circa 1560(Later lock and lockplate)Height: 22 ins.; 56 cms.Width: 38.5 ins.; 98 cms.Depth: 13.25 ins.; 34 cms.Items purchased can be stored and collected by mutual agreement, although we are always happy to help with delivery arrangements (just email us at with your postcode or country & zip code to obtain a competitive quote).Please click on the 'About Us' button on the top left hand side of the...
