About the Item
A charmingly small solid oak craftsman made “coffer bach” of traditional late 17th/early 18th century construction with twin fielded panels to front and back and single fielded and framed panel to each side. The whole of most attractive well balanced proportions and with a good, rich, naturally developed colour.
The twin board oversailing lid with internal oak brackets which act as hinges and allow the lid to rise and support itself. No evidence of earlier or metal ring hinges.
Lovely brass batswing decorative escutcheon with brass rivets. The brass has a really tactile feel - the surface polished so many times that the brass appears almost like a liquid.
Evidence of old worm and wear to the feet, consistent with its great age but all long since treated and dead.
This is very small little coffer – a lovely example in excellent usable condition. Peg jointed throughout and surprisingly heavy for its size.
Dimensions are:
24 inches wide at top, 20.5 inches wide at feet, 14.25 inches wide at top and 13 inches deep at feet.
20 inches high and 32 inches tall when lid is raised.
From floor to lowest edge of apron is 5 inches.

View All17th Century English Oak Strong Box c. 1640
Located in Heathfield, GB
A rare English oak strong box retaining original and elaborately forged iron lock plate and lock with escutcheon cover and with the original working key.
The case with original beautifully shaped corner brackets and original carrying handles – all the hardware fixed with the original rivets.
The interior with seven oak drawers with attractive original handles, three over two banks of two, each drawer with very fine boarded linings in wainscot oak with nailed up bottoms.
These chests were used by merchants who travelled and traded. The drawers may have contained precious gemstones such as diamonds, gold or jewellery, spices or coins. The fall descends to form a desk at which to write, weigh or count. This example no doubt travelled aboard ships of the day carrying cargo and travellers around the world – ships like the wooden hulled Mayflower which took the Pilgrim Fathers to America in 1620. The strong box has probably visited many lands and carried all manner of exotic and highly valuable items. If only it could talk!

A Very Good Early English Oak Coffer c. 1600
Located in Heathfield, GB
With a lovely colour and rich patina, this superb English oak coffer dates from c. 1600. Set on tall feet and of a very good size and rarely seen compact proportion, this would be a perfect linen box at the end of a bed or a beautiful focal point in any room.
The carving particularly finely executed with stylised acanthus leaf extending from the front feet to the top of the stiles and with adorsed foliate S-scrolls across the frieze. Each fielded panel superbly carved with sophisticated geometric pattern, leaves and twinned circles - reminiscent of formal knot gardens - and with running strapwork along the intermediate framing. The bottom frame carved with expansive lunettes with small flying ribbons indicating that the chest is probably of North Country origins.
Retaining its original candle box which also has a wonderful patina. The three fielded panel lid original also with channel carving to the borders. To the inner face of the panelled lid are the remnants of a very early hand written and decorated paper label for Peter and Anne ? – presumably one time owners of the chest. The rear legs have been re-tipped as is normal in early oak coffers of this great age. There are some losses, old dings and marks consistent with age and a small number of old worm holes to the top of the right hand framed side panel – long since dead. The original wire hinges have been replaced in the 18th century with substantial riveted blacksmith hand forged iron H hinges...
