18th century

Sold by Prior and Willis

Description

18th Century pine chest or coffer. This item could have a number of uses, including that of a log basket, trunk, coffee table or ottoman. This coffer is full of age, charm and character. Heavy, solid and has no loose joints. A very attractive arched panel design to the front.

As with all genuine antique furniture, you can expect to see some historic knocks, marks, wear, imperfections, cracks, scratches, repairs and/or alterations. No lock and there are later timber supports on the bottom. This item has had historic repairs and alterations, but is full of age and charm. There is a fair bit of historical wood worm, believed extinct, that we have treated for good measure (this is normal for period pine and adds to the charm). The candle box is missing.

Overall maximum dimensions: 128cm wide, 62cm deep, 51cm high. Internal dimensions: 116cm wide, 50cm deep, 43cm high.
