Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 18TH CENTURY:
Wooden peg joints fixing the front frame: traditional hand-pinned timber construction.
Raised fielded panels set into moulded rails: eighteenth-century regional joinery.
Shrinkage gap between the two lid boards: natural movement of seasoned native oak.
Hand-planed tool marks across the interior boards: timber converted before mechanical sawmills.

This is an independent date and photo anotation report compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

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.

This 18th century Welsh oak coffer bach belongs to the Georgian style and displays a dark brown timber colour with rich patination. The construction comprises a solid two-piece hinged lid above three raised fielded panels across the front, complemented by solid oak sides, a keyhole escutcheon, shaped bracket feet, and old hinge repairs alongside general usage wear. The dimensions measure 39 cm high, 74 cm wide, and 32 cm deep. Suitable for placement in a living room, hallway, or bedroom, the coffer functions as an accent storage chest for blankets, linens, or keepsakes while adding rustic farmhouse character to an interior scheme.

FAQs

A coffer bach, translating to small chest in Welsh, is a regional storage vessel produced in Wales during the eighteenth century, traditionally used to store household linens, silver, or important family documents.

Eighteenth-century coffers were constructed using solid native oak, featuring hand-carved joinery such as pegged mortise and tenon joints, fielded panels, and bracket feet.

Authentic pieces display evidence of hand-planed timber surfaces, irregular hand-cut joints, original steel or iron hinges, and natural wood shrinkage along the grain acquired over centuries.

An antique coffer can be integrated into contemporary spaces as a low coffee table, a hallway storage bench, or a statement piece placed at the foot of a bed.

Preserve historic oak furniture by wiping surfaces with a dry microfiber cloth, applying beeswax polish sparingly once per year, and placing the piece away from direct heat sources and radiators.
