Driscolls Antiques Ltd has dated this piece to the 17th Century.
This mid 17th century antique oak coffer is of the classic six plank design and still stands at its original height! Designed originally as a travelling chest and seat this coffer is of a six plank design has been finished with simple decorative edges. It still has the original iron locking plate and hinges. Its key attraction is the fact it still stands at its original height making it quite a rare find as most coffers of this age have suffered damage to their supports and have consequently had to have their feet sawn down. Oozing charm and character from age and use, as one would expect from a piece of this period, this coffer is now a lovely medium shade of oak with a striking grain, good patina, is in very good condition and has been beautifully cleaned using a traditional form of wax finishing.
