Antique 18th Century Carved Oak Coffer

18th century
Description

An antique 18th century oak coffer with beautiful carved detail throughout. The coffer features a hinged plank top above a panelled front, richly decorated with repeating carved motifs to the frieze and stiles. The piece retains its original iron lock plate and has a deep oak colour with good wear and patina throughout. The simple panelled construction combined with the decorative carving gives the piece a strong and characterful appearance. A solid and attractive example.

Item Reference:

M-6870

.

Dimensions:

Height – 61cm / Width – 118cm / Depth – 47.5cm

.

CONDITION REPORT:

In good antique condition throughout with signs of age and use. There is surface wear including marks, scratches, knocks, and historic wear throughout the piece consistent with age. The hinges and lid operate as intended and the coffer remains solid and sound. The back legs are slightly shorter than the front through wear, giving it a gentle backwards slope. There is evidence of historic woodworm, however this has long gone and been treated as a precaution. Overall, the piece presents well with a good colour and patina.

Our experienced carpenter meticulously inspects, repairs, and restores each item in our collection. This ensures that every piece you purchase from us is ready to be seamlessly incorporated into your home. To provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the item's condition, we kindly request that you take a moment to thoroughly review all the accompanying photos. These images form an essential part of the item's description and condition report, offering an important visual insight into its appearance and overall quality.

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

An oak coffer is a traditional joined wooden storage chest featuring a hinged lid and paneled sides, historically used from the medieval era through the 18th century for storing textiles, linens, and household valuables.

They were constructed using solid oak joined with mortise and tenon joints held by wooden pegs, incorporating hand-carved rails, field panels, and iron escutcheons or lock plates.

Authentic period coffers demonstrate hand-sawn timber marks, original wooden peg construction, natural oxidation around iron fittings, and shrinkage aligned with long-term wood movement.

A carved oak coffer works as a statement piece in a hallway, at the foot of a bed for linen storage, or as a central coffee table in a modern living room setting.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a soft cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish periodically, while placing the item away from direct heat sources and fluctuating humidity levels.
