Description :
A rare Charles 1 oak and marquetry coffer c 1630 in lovely crusty condition with well carved and impressive arcaded front on stile supports retaining the original spandrel brackets.
Apart from later hinges, an extra plank to the underside and a reinforced ( not replaced ) back left stile this coffer is in lovely original condition not even having had a wax. The only missing feature appears to be two moulds now long gone that would have run horizontally across the middle of the coffer above and below the arcaded carving. Traces of old nails can be seen in photo 2 below the keyhole.
A sophisticated Pre Civil War coffer this would have come from a wealthy household and would have been used to store prized family possessions.
