17th Century Planked Oak Coffer

17th century
Description

A good example of an English oak coffer dating from the mid 17th Century. It is a traditional six plank nailed construction standing on its end boards. The blacksmith-made strap hinges are on the exterior of the lid and it opens to reveal a plain interior. It has a metal lock plate but is missing the strap lock.

The coffer is in good original condition and has developed a rich patina with a lovely dark colour. It is generally clean and tidy inside. There are signs of age and use, some knocks and marks but nothing detrimental or untoward. There are some historic signs of worm and the bottom of the legs have worn, possibly causing the chest to lose a little bit of height. The tip of one strap hinge is missing but the hinges are solid and the whole chest is strong and sturdy. The coffer has been cleaned and lightly polished and is ready for use.

The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.

Nationwide delivery available through our network of reliable couriers. Please get in touch for an accurate quote to your location.
