Description:

The lid opens using its original metal loop hinges, to reveal a spacious interior. The interior is clean, dry, practical & usable, retaining its original floor-boards, except the central board, which has been replaced at a later date. On the right-hand side of the inside of the coffer, remains original candle box compartment, with a later lid. The coffer incorporates a working lock and comes with a key and an old replacement working steel clasp.
Condition Report:
This late 17th century carved oak coffer is in excellent clean condition, considering its age. The coffer has been wax-polished, to a professional standard in our workshop. Nominal old marks to the top (see photos) 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 (except for the central plank which has been replaced at a later date), sides and back. The coffer incorporates a working lock with key, with an old replacement steel clasp and original metal wire loop hinges to the lid.
