FAQs

Oak coffers originated in medieval times primarily for storing valuables, documents, and textiles securely off damp floors before closets became common in domestic architecture.

These pieces were predominantly constructed from solid quarter-sawn English oak, utilising mortise and tenon joints, pegged frames, and panelled construction to accommodate seasonal wood movement.

Authenticity is identified through hand-cut joinery, iron or wooden peg fixings, natural patination with rich wax build-up, and tool marks consistent with period hand-working methods.

An antique coffer serves well as a practical coffee table, hallway storage bench, or at the foot of a bed, providing textural contrast against contemporary streamlined furnishings.

Preserve the timber by keeping it away from direct heat sources and sunlight, feeding the dry wood periodically with natural beeswax rather than modern chemical polishes.
