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.

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.

FAQs

An oak coffer, often referred to as a blanket box or chest, served as a primary form of storage in 17th-century households. These pieces were constructed with panelled framing and frequently featured intricate carving or marquetry inlay reflecting regional craftsmanship styles.

Traditional coffers were constructed primarily from solid English oak, joined using mortise and tenon joints secured with wooden dowels or pegs. Inlaid panels frequently incorporated contrasting fruitwoods or stained woods, while metal drop handles or ring pulls provided functionality.

Authentic period coffers feature hand-planed timber surfaces, irregular doweled joinery, natural age-related wear, and original brass or iron fittings. Look for hand-carved ornamentation and natural timber shrinkage across wood panels over time.

A carved oak coffer functions effectively as a focal point in a hallway, at the foot of a bed, or in a living space. Pairing dark carved oak with neutral soft furnishings or contemporary artwork balances the visual weight of the wood.

Preserve the finish by dusting regularly with a soft lint-free cloth and applying a quality beeswax polish once or twice a year. Keep the coffer away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent timber warping or veneer shrinkage.
