Large Antique Solid Oak Coffer Chest. Period Oak Country Antique Coffer is of pegged construction. Which has a name and the date of 1731 carved at the base. Also has a later candle box. We believe the carved name and date would probably be of a much later date to the coffer as was so often the case, this would therefore make this a much earlier piece, and seeing its construction and the oak planks age could well be as early as 16th Century! Amazing period antique still has its original hinges to the lid above a detailed carved panelled front. This charming antique Oak Coffer stands on raised feet and is beautifully aged and with good patina. It has a large internal space. There are signs of old historic woodworm throughout – this is long gone and has been fully treated as a precaution. It has also been cleaned using a traditional form of antique wax finishing to feed the wood. This item is in the category “Antiques\Antique Furniture\Trunks & Chests”.
