Description
16th Century English Antique Oak Boarded Chest / Coffer
Condition – Please refer to the images. This is a good, early piece of English oak furniture. There are some traces of historic woodworm. This is inactive and has been treated as a precautionary measure. The plank top has some minor age-related splits, and there is an old patch repair to the top, too, approximately 6.5 cm by 7 cm in size.
The lock plate has been removed, and a later wooden panel has been added at some point to replace the site of the lock plate.* There are some splits/cracks to the legs, which are stable. There is an old blacksmith’s repair to the base where two iron bands provide additional support to the base panel.
* We do have several 16th-century lock plates in stock and could look to replacing the wooden panel with one of these, subject to an additional fee/charge. Please contact us for details.
Size – Width 120 cm x height 81 cm x depth 56 cm
