This Anglo-Indian coffer dates from 1860 in the Victorian period. The rectangular dark brown timber chest contains heavy iron strapping across the lid and body, detailed brass rosettes, hand-forged hanging clasps, and numerous riveted studs arranged in a uniform pattern. The piece measures 83 cm high, 124 cm wide, and 69 cm deep, providing substantial interior storage capacity. In a modern interior, this chest functions as an accent piece in a study, library, or living room, serving as a coffee table substitute or blanket storage box. The robust construction and metallic decorative elements suit traditional or eclectic schemes where strong textures are desired.

FAQs

An Anglo-Indian iron bound coffer is a heavy wooden storage chest produced in India during the 18th and 19th centuries, combining indigenous metalworking and woodwork techniques with European structural forms.

These coffers were typically crafted from hardwoods such as teak or rosewood, reinforced with hand-forged iron strapping, iron clasps, and decorative brass studs or rosettes to protect against transit wear and climate conditions.

Authentic examples feature hand-hammered ironwork, irregular hand-cut rivets, native tropical hardwoods, and traditional latching mechanisms rather than modern uniform screws or synthetic finishes.

An iron bound coffer functions as a focal point at the foot of a bed, as a central coffee table, or as a substantial entryway storage piece alongside modern soft furnishings.

Clean the timber surface using a soft dry cloth and apply natural beeswax annually, while keeping iron fittings dry and occasionally treated with clear wax to prevent oxidisation.
