An Originally Painted Antique Pine Hungarian Coffer Box

19th century
Description

This box is in good condition and from Hungary. It has its original paintwork.

This box would look well in an old or modern property amongst similar antique pine decorative furniture at the foot of a bed in the middle of a living room for a coffee table or in a corner of a living room to place a TV on top.

This box stands on round turned feet supporting the main section. There are three beautifully painted panels to the front with a floral design and arched top. There is some hungarian writing above and a key that opens the box. The top is in good condition and beautifully worn in all of the right places. There is a lift up lid with plenty of storage space inside. It has its original metal carry handles to each end.

The height is 56cm, the width is 117cm and the depth is 58cm.

Delivery Terms

WE OFFER FREE DELIVERY TO ENGLAND, WALES, AND SCOTLAND (BELOW PERTH)

Shipping /delivery is equally as important to us as the item of furniture itself. It is simple; we deliver everything personally in England / Wales so this way we are 100% sure that the item / furniture reaches our customers safe and sound. We NEVER use couriers. Delivery is generally within 7-14 days of purchase. We guarantee delivery anywhere in England / Wales within 21 days of purchase.

Deliveries to Scotland as far north as Perth are guaranteed within 6 weeks of purchase. If delivery is required above Perth in Scotland please contact James on 07957 392 074 or

james@davidhuntantiques.com for a price.

Deliveries are either carried out by David or James as one member of the team is required to stay in the warehouse, therefore we do require assistance from the van into your hallway with the item of furniture. We have set delivery days and once the van is loaded (a day prior to delivery) David will call customers to arrange a two hour delivery time slot. Customers will also receive a text when delivery is 30 minutes away.

It is really helpful if customers can provide their ‘what3words’ location to make delivery as smooth

as possible, especially properties in rural locations.

Ireland Deliveries

We do use a very good courier company called DVM Service to deliver goods to Ireland. We ask the customer to pay this company direct for the delivery charge and we then liaise with DVM regarding collection of a customer’s item of furniture to be shipped to Ireland.

Europe & Rest of the World

We do not ship to Europe or the Rest of the World.

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.

FAQs

Historically commissioned as part of a brides dowry in Central and Eastern Europe, these coffers were crafted from local softwoods like pine and decorated with regional folk art motifs, inscriptions, and floral symbolism to store household linens.

These trunks were primarily constructed from solid pine or fir using hand-cut dovetail or mortise-and-tenon joints, fitted with wrought iron drop handles and lock plates, and finished with mineral-based tempera paints.

Authentic pieces display natural age-related paint wear, craquelure, authentic hand-forged iron hardware, hand-planed timber surfaces on the reverse or interior, and hand-painted calligraphy or floral iconography consistent with regional traditions.

A painted coffer can function as a coffee table in a living room, a blanket chest at the foot of a bed, or a focal storage piece in an entryway, balancing modern clean lines with historical texture and colour.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoid chemical cleansers or excess moisture. Apply a light coat of clear microcrystalline wax periodically to seal and protect fragile original paint pigments.
