Antique Oak Coffer with Geometric Panelled Front

A generously proportioned 18th century oak coffer or blanket chest with geometric mouldings to the front panel and the initials HC carved either side of the escutcheon. The coffer has a lovely colour and patina, though has had various repairs over the years, so please read the full description below.

Condition: The coffer has general wear and to the front panel and top, with a degree of loss to the bottom of the front panel. The floor of the coffer has been replaced with pine boards. The back panel appears to have either been repaired at some point, or was originally made with timber left over from something else. There is old woodworm damage in the back which does not appear to be active, but we have treated the coffer against woodworm as a precaution. The rear leg on the left hand side is worn. The hinges are not original. Good and solid overall with a lovely rich colour and patina.
