Description:

This is a good quality antique English 18th century Georgian oak joined coffer, which has been adapted into a storage cupboard at some point, circa 1730, in excellent condition. The coffer is constructed with a moulded three-plank top, with a joined section below, which is constructed with butt joints to the corners, secured by peg construction. The top opens to reveal a spacious interior. The interior is clean, dry and practical and usable and retains its original floor-boards. The coffer also features a steel working lock, with working key. The front of the coffer is decorated with the original stylised rope carving, below which are three inset panels. The sides of the coffer also feature inset panels. The coffer stands on the original stiles (feet). The back of the coffer retains its original rough-hewn panels along with the original floor. Overall, this coffer boasts a lovely deep, rich oxblood colour and patination and is an ideal interior design piece.

Condition Report:

The coffer is in excellent condition, considering its age. Nominal old marks to the top and leading edges, but nothing significant considering the age of the item. Such old use marks are inevitable and perfectly acceptable due to its age and use it would have received. The interior is clean, dry, and usable. The coffer retains its original lid, floor, sides and back. The steel strap hinges are later replacements, possibly added in the Victorian or Edwardian period. The coffer features a steel working lock, with working key. The coffer stands on extended stiles (feet) and the carvings to the front rail are original. The coffer is solid in joint; it does not wobble on the floor and is ready to use. Considering the age of this coffer, it is in good condition.
