Antique 1800s English Carved Oak Coffer Storage Trunk Box

About the Item

A beautiful, classic 19th century English carved oak storage trunk or coffer. Incised decorative carved patterns in the front. It could be used as a coffee table, at the foot of a bed for storage, or in a hallway or entryway for seating and storage. Collected in England in the 1990s. Condition commensurate with age or use, see photos. The majority of imperfections are on the top: abraded area at corner, old chipping on edge, scattered discolorations. Top closes on to the base but is slightly misaligned at one corner. Two bands of oak added to the underside of the top to reinforce in case someone wanted to sit on this, as a bench.

Long circa 1800 Gothic Style Oak Board Trunk from France
Located in Dallas, TX
