FAQs

Coffers were among the most common domestic items in medieval and early modern households, serving as storage for textiles, valuables, and documents, and often functioning as benches or tables.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid English oak using frame-and-panel construction to accommodate the natural expansion and contraction of timber, secured with pegged mortise and tenon joints.

Authenticity is assessed by examining hand-tool marks, traditional joinery such as pegged joints, hand-wrought iron hinges and lock plates, and the natural patina developed over centuries of oxidisation.

An antique coffer provides practical storage while serving as a focal point at the foot of a bed, beneath a window, or in a hallway, contrasting effectively with contemporary minimalist elements.

Protect the wood by maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight, and periodically applying traditional beeswax to nourish the finish without using modern silicone-based polishes.
