FAQs

A Georgian plank coffer is a six-board or plank-constructed timber chest dating from the 18th to early 19th century, constructed with simple joinery, a hinged top lid, and internal storage space.

These storage pieces were constructed from regional woods such as elm, pine, or oak, assembled with hand-forged iron strap hinges and finished with mineral or milk-based paints.

Original historic paint exhibits natural surface wear in high-touch areas, micro-cracking known as craquelure, and subtle colour variation from light exposure over time.

A painted timber coffer functions effectively placed at the foot of a bed, positioned in an entrance hallway, or utilised under a window for concealed storage.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a clean microfibre cloth, keeping the item away from direct heat sources to prevent wood shrinkage, and avoiding solvent-based cleaners that remove paint layers.
