Georgian Oak Mule Chest Coffer Ottoman

18th century

Sold by Prior and Willis

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. Original loop hinges. Heavy, solid and has no loose joints. Later lock, with no key and consequently untested.

As with all genuine antique furniture, you can expect to see some historic knocks, marks, wear, imperfections, cracks, scratches, repairs and/or alterations. 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 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. There is a small hole in the bottom (approximately 2" square)... let us know if this is a problem, as we can sort this before dispatch if required.

Overall maximum dimensions: 146cm wide, 59cm deep, 70cm high. Internal dimensions: 136cm wide, 47cm deep, 50cm high.
