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 arcaded coffer is a wooden storage chest featuring front panels carved with architectural arches, a design motif prominent in English furniture making during the 17th century.

These coffers were typically constructed from solid oak using pegged mortise and tenon joinery, often incorporating carved relief work and contrasting wood inlays such as holly or bog oak.

Authentic 17th-century coffers feature hand-planed surfaces, hand-cut pegs, original iron hinges or ring wire staples, and natural surface wear consistent with age.

An oak coffer functions effectively as a focal point in an entryway, placed at the foot of a bed, or utilised as a low console table in a living area paired with neutral textiles.

Preserve the timber by keeping the coffer away from direct heat sources and sunlight, dusting regularly with a soft cloth, and applying beeswax polish once or twice a year.
