FAQs

A Charles II coffer is a 17th-century English wooden storage chest constructed during the reign of King Charles II between 1660 and 1685, characterised by joined panel construction and hand-carved relief decoration.

These coffers were crafted using solid native English oak joined with mortise and tenon joints held together by wooden dowels or pegs, featuring hand-planed panels and relief carving.

Authentic period coffers display peg joinery, hand-sawn timber marks on unexposed surfaces, historic iron lock plates or hinges, and period-appropriate carved motifs such as rosettes or fluting.

A period coffer can be positioned in an entryway, placed at the foot of a bed, or integrated into a living space to introduce historic architectural character and texture.

Dust the wood regularly with a dry lint-free cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish annually to maintain the protective layer and preserve the existing patina.
