FAQs

Seventeenth-century blanket boxes, often referred to as coffers or dower chests, were essential household items primarily used to store textiles, valuables, and documents in domestic spaces before built-in wardrobes became common.

These pieces were predominantly constructed from solid English oak using frame-and-panel techniques with hand-cut joints, pegged construction, and heavy timber boards to ensure durability.

Authenticity is identified by examining tool marks, hand-carved details, timber oxidisation, traditional joinery such as trunnels or wooden pegs, and consistent wear patterns appropriate to age.

A period timber coffer works effectively as a functional coffee table in a modern living room or as a statement storage piece at the foot of a bed, contrasting clean lines with historical texture.

Preserve antique oak by maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight, and occasionally applying natural beeswax to nourish the timber without damaging the finish.
