FAQs

A coffer is a heavy wooden storage chest featuring a hinged lid, historically used in the 17th century for securing household linens, clothing, and valuable personal belongings.

These coffers were crafted using joined timber frame construction, incorporating recessed panels secured with mortise and tenon joints held together by hand-shaped wooden pegs.

Authentic period chests exhibit uneven hand-planed timber surfaces, original pegged joinery, age-related shrinkage along panel joints, and natural oxidisation on the interior and underside.

A traditional oak coffer functions as practical storage at the foot of a bed, serves as a bench in an entryway, or acts as a central coffee table in a contemporary living room.

Maintain the oak by dusting regularly with a dry lint-free cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish once or twice a year while keeping the piece away from direct heat sources.
