Description
A good example of a small English oak coffer dating from the mid to late 18th Century. It has a traditional panelled construction standing on four block feet. The front is decorated with a simple frieze rail of arched carvings and diamond shaped inlay to the panels. The lid opens on its original ring hinges and the boarded interior has a small lidded candle box.
The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
