About the Item

This exceptional 18th-century French oak coffer, dated 1722, is a true testament to the craftsmanship of its time. Its robust construction and richly detailed carvings make it an outstanding example of early French provincial furniture. The coffer features intricately hand-carved panels adorned with geometric motifs and scales, complemented by scrolling floral details that exude elegance and refinement. A centerpiece of the design is the prominently carved date “1722,” framed by scrolling acanthus leaves, offering not only aesthetic appeal but also historical significance. The front is further enriched by the original wrought iron escutcheon, complete with its functional locking mechanism—a rare feature that adds both charm and practicality. This piece rests on sturdy carved legs and showcases a patina that speaks to centuries of use while maintaining its structural integrity. Its deep storage capacity makes it both a decorative and functional addition to any home, ideal for use as a blanket chest, coffee table, or statement piece in a grand entrance. The quality of the oak, the precision of the carvings, and the presence of the original hardware make this coffer a collector’s dream.
