Description

A nicely proportioned late Georgian oak coffer with a warm oak tone and even patina throughout. The hinged lid opens to reveal a spacious interior. Neat dovetail joints and brass carrying handles to the sides. The piece sits on shaped bracket feet. Overall, a lovely example.

Item Reference: M-6400

.

DIMENSIONS:

Height – 51cm / Width - 118cm / Depth - 45cm

CONDITION REPORT:

In good antique condition throughout with some signs of age. There is natural shrinkage to the planks on the top, front, and sides, along with surface wear in places including age-related marks, scratches, dents, and stains to the lid and sides (pictured). The front also shows light marks and stains (pictured). The escutcheon and hinges are later replacements. A historic repair is visible to the right-hand side of the lid, and a later interior brace has been fitted beneath the lid to provide additional support, though it is not structural. There is also evidence of historical woodworm, now long gone and fully treated as a precaution. The coffer remains structurally solid and sound. Overall, a good example of its kind.

FAQs

A Georgian oak coffer is a traditional storage chest dating from the 18th century, originally utilised in households for storing blankets, linen, and valuables before fitted wardrobes became common.

These pieces were predominantly constructed from solid English oak using traditional joinery techniques such as mortise and tenon joints, hand-planed panels, and wrought iron hardware.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-correct tool marks, hand-cut dovetails, shrinkage cracks in the timber, patination consistent with age, and period iron hinges and locks.

An antique oak coffer serves as a practical focal point at the foot of a bed, as a coffee table substitute in a living room, or as hallway storage to contrast contemporary decor.

Preserve antique oak by avoiding direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations, applying occasional microcrystalline wax, and dusting gently with a dry, soft cloth.
