The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

A provincial coffer is a rustic wooden storage chest produced in regional France during the 18th century, primarily designed for storing linens, textiles, and household goods.

These coffers were crafted using solid local timbers such as oak, pine, or chestnut, assembled with mortise and tenon joinery and often decorated with hand-carved geometric panelling.

Authentic period coffers exhibit signs of hand-planed timber, historic pegged joints, period iron hinges or lockplates, and continuous oxidation on the wood surface.

A wooden coffer serves as functional storage at the foot of a bed, functions as a coffee table in a living room, or provides seating and entryway organisation in a hallway.

Dust the timber regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the surface finish and prevent the wood from drying out.
