This Georgian Lancashire coffer takes the form of a substantial oak chest finished in a deep brown tone with contrasting mahogany crossbanding. The rectangular top lifts on hinges to reveal a spacious interior equipped with a candle box. The front elevation presents an arrangement of nine fielded panel drawer fronts, comprising six false drawers and three opening drawers fitted with brass swan-neck drop handles and escutcheons. The case rests on shapely ogee bracket feet, anchored securely at the lower corners. Overall dimensions measure 93 cm high by 166 cm wide by 80 cm deep. Such a traditional storage piece suits placement in a hallway, bedroom or living room as a characterful focal point that offers ample concealed storage capacity while maintaining an authentic country house aesthetic.

FAQs

A Lancashire coffer, frequently referred to as a mule chest, originated in North West England during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, featuring a hinged lid above a facade of real or simulated drawer fronts.

These coffers are traditionally constructed from solid English oak, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints, fielded panel drawer fronts, brass swan-neck drop handles, and heavy oak plank lids.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-planed timbers, peg construction, secondary woods such as pine or oak in drawer linings, and natural age-related patination around the keyholes and metalwork.

A traditional oak coffer functions effectively as a focal statement piece in an entryway, hallway, or living space, offering substantial storage while providing visual texture against contemporary decor.

Clean the oak timber with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a clear beeswax polish once or twice annually, ensuring the piece remains away from direct heat sources and high humidity.
