Dealers Notes

Our stock includes early oak and walnut furniture from the 18th century, as well as more formal pieces from the Georgian period. Clocks, barometers and globes are complemented by Colonial cabinets, furniture and early arms. Their scientific instruments, which include early microscopes, telescopes and equipment such as sextants, provide a fascinating insight into the evolution of technology, whilst demonstrating fine artistry and craftsmanship. One of Hansord’s many exhibitions was entitled ‘From simplicity to complexity with a little eccentricity’ and this continues to be the guiding mantra behind their collection today.

FAQs

A Spanish colonial coffer is a heavy wooden storage chest produced during the Spanish colonial period, typically featuring deep relief carving, local timbers, and iron hardware used for securing valuables and textiles.

These pieces are traditionally constructed from dense native hardwoods like oak, walnut, or cedar, utilizing hand-cut dovetail joints, pegged mortise and tenon joinery, and wrought iron hinges.

Authentic pieces display period-appropriate tool marks, hand-forged ironwork, consistent oxidisation of the wood, and construction methods characteristic of historical cabinetmaking rather than modern machinery.

Position the piece as a focal storage element in a living space or hallway, allowing its tactile wood grain and sculptural carvings to contrast cleanly against minimalist or neutral contemporary surroundings.

Maintain wood coffers in a stable environment away from direct sunlight and heat sources, applying occasional microcrystalline wax to nourish the grain without sealing the surface.
