Description

A form of furniture unique to Wales, coffor bach (literally small coffer) were essentially dowry chests, given to a woman when she married and traditionally passed down the generations through the female line. They were used to store small personal and valuable items.

Three square raised and fielded panels to the front, slab sides and backboard. Applied base moulding and unusual carved detail to the feet. Later strap hinges and missing the lock, otherwise excellent colour and condition.
