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”.

This eye appealing flask is completely hand made in the very desirable small size pocket flask size; 3 ½ tall flask x 1 ½ in diameter and is intended as a pocket flask, typically kept inside a jacket pocket.

The cylindrical body has a flat plate silver soldered to the bottom of the base which has slightly rounded edges. The mushroom shaped sterling silver screw cap has a slightly domed top with a collar on the top and bottom of the neck. The threaded screw top appears to have the original cork insert and secures the top to the bottle securely and appears it would hold liquid if used; but it has not been tested.

Moon, Tides, Date, Month of Year. A fascinating longcase clock with a very rare and unusual dial. The dial is marked for Placidus Penyston. The style of dial and movement have features which place them in the very early era of longcase clock making, possibly around 1700. The dial has particularly rare features, especially so considering its age. The subsidiary seconds and date are fairly standard for clocks of this type although the date inset is unusually placed. In addition, there is a penny moon cut-out with extra smaller windows for moon-phase and time of high water. Finally, and virtually never seen, is a rectangular inset revealing the current month of the year. The 8 day striking movement looks typical of those found around 1700. It is quite tall with five knopped and finned pillars. It has an inside countwheel, and the anchor location is lower than in later movements. The clock also comes with an ancient looking pair of brass-cased lead weights. I cant say for certain that these are original but certainly could be given the age of the clock. Overall condition is very good. The dial is clean and bright with good silvering to the rings. The movement is clean and runs well. All extra dial functions are connected and working apart from the year dial. I can see no sign that this was ever connected so probably for manual adjustment. The case is sound and solid with some age-related marks and movement. Dimensions are: height 74 inches, width 20 inches (top of hood), depth 11 inches (again top of hood). The dial is 11 inches square. The clock is complete with brass-cased lead weights, brass faced pendulum and winder. Viewing and collection welcome. The item “Early Longcase Clock.
