C16th Coffer \ Chest

16th century
Description

A rare dome top coffer in oak with fine original decorative ironwork allowing for four locks to be fitted, this well constructed chest has plank construction with moulded decoration, the robust carrying handles suggest it was for transportation of valuables, the four lock hasps are likely to necessitate the presence of more than one person to open it. It is likely to have been made for a guild or church to hold funds or perhaps silverware. It is a good smaller size and has a superb natural surface patina.

English. Circa 1590

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
