The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

A Jacobean oak coffer is a wooden storage chest produced in England during the early 17th century, named after the reign of King James I. These coffers typically featured sturdy oak construction, pegged joinery, and functional hand-wrought iron hardware.

17th-century coffers were primarily constructed using six thick oak planks or joined panel frames secured with wooden trunnels (pegs) and hand-forged iron nails. They frequently featured V-cut shaped end boards that functioned as integral legs, along with simple iron loop hinges and lockplates.

Authentic 17th-century pieces display signs of hand-planed timber, irregular pegged joints, hand-wrought ironwork, and natural shrinkage across the grain over centuries. Look for oxidisation around iron fixings and an aged surface patina that cannot be replicated by modern machine production.

An antique oak coffer can be positioned at the foot of a bed, beneath a window, or in an entryway to provide concealed storage while adding visual weight and warm timber tones to contemporary schemes.

Care for historical oak by dusting regularly with a soft cloth and applying a natural beeswax polish once or twice a year to nourish the timber. Keep the item away from direct heat sources and maintain stable humidity levels to prevent timber splitting.
