ANTIQUE JEWELLERY, FURNITURE AND OBJECTS CURATED BY CONSERVATION AND GEMMOLOGY SPECIALISTS IN GUERNSEY AND LONDON
After years immersed in the dynamic world of London’s antique scene, we felt a call to return to Guernsey, to a quieter, more reflective place where we could cultivate our own vision. Our approach is founded on a deep respect for the history and craftsmanship of each item we encounter, but also an understanding that the antique world must evolve to remain relevant in today’s ever-changing landscape. We are committed to bringing both knowledge and passion to every interaction, ensuring that our clients are as informed as they are inspired by the pieces they acquire.
'Terrou' is the Guernésiais word for 'Always' - a word which resonated strongly with us. We believe antiques should be both appreciated for their heritage and embraced for their ability to contribute to the beauty and functionality of modern life. Our collection represents not only the history of fine jewellery and furniture but also a bridge between past and present. We work with clients to help them see that antiques are not merely relics of the past but treasures that can compliment and enhance the spaces and lives of today.
At the heart of our mission is the desire to make the antique world more accessible and approachable, while preserving the standards of knowledge, care, and expertise that have defined it for centuries.
We invite you to explore our collection, where tradition meets innovation, and where every piece tells a story.

Description
18th Century antique miniature elm coffer of rectangular form, the plain-boarded lid with projecting moulded edge above a single-plank front fitted with a rectangular iron lock plate, the shaped keyhole escutcheon of spade form, secured throughout with hand-cut rose-head nails. The lid interior reinforced with two horizontal iron straps and retaining the original butterfly hinges and bolt mechanism.
The timber, European elm throughout, displays the characteristic flowing landscape figuring of the species and a fine untouched patina consistent with age. The plain, uncarved exterior and robust iron furniture are consistent with Welsh vernacular work of the period.
The stepped plinth base and bracket feet appear to be a later addition in oak, sympathetic in character and well-integrated.
In good condition throughout, retaining all original ironwork. The patina is unrestored.
