Description

Georgian 18th Century oak 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. Old but later hinges. Heavy, solid and has no loose joints. Attractive arched panel front.

This item has had historic repairs and alterations, but is full of age and charm and looks magnificent. There is a fair bit of historical wood worm, believed extinct, that we have been treated for good measure (this is normal for period oak). Historical cracking and splits, but these add to the age and charm of the piece. No lock. There is a large blob of old filler in the lid, but this is buried in loads of historic polish and patina and barely noticeable. Later softwood strengthening to the lid.

Overall maximum dimensions: 141cm wide, 55cm deep, 72cm high. Internal dimensions: 135cm wide, 48cm deep, 56cm high.
