FAQs

Coffers from the seventeenth century were primarily utilitarian storage furniture used in households to store valuables, linen, and documents before fitted wardrobes became common.

These pieces were traditionally constructed from solid English oak, utilising frame-and-panel joinery held together with wooden pegs rather than metal nails.

Authentic items display period-correct tool marks, hand-cut joints, natural oxidisation, shrinkage splits, and traditional hand-carved ornamentation typical of seventeenth-century craftsmanship.

Such historic pieces work well as focal points in contemporary spaces, providing textural contrast when paired with minimalist architecture or acting as practical storage at the foot of a bed.

Maintain stable indoor humidity levels, keep the wood away from direct heat sources and sunlight, and periodically treat the surface with traditional beeswax to nourish the timber.
