Exceptional Carved Sword Chest / Coffer / Wedding Chest
Featuring lovely original top edge detailing, three raised fielded panels alongside good carved AR20 and dated 1736 to the front, and WTW to rear right of lid (probably the initials of a later owner). With unusual period wooden hinges, and pegged construction. The nicely carved frontal lettering in celebration of a marriage. Overall a fine period coffer with all the detailing and features one would expect of a coffer of this period. A quality piece, with panelling to the sides and rear, with wear and period repairs commensurate with age (please see photos).
Notable condition remarks: wear and period repairs commensurate with age throughout, including old woodworm damage. This has been treated as a precaution with a treatment solution which is not harmful to pets or humans, unlike many of the treatments often used. Please be careful when purchasing treated furniture if you value your health and that of your pets.
In Good Original Antique Condition
A most imposing piece of furniture. Please study the photographs carefully which convey a thousand words and constitute an important part of the description. Please also read the full description, and our few terms and conditions etc. We generally leave items as they are, as many buyers prefer them that way. However, at the Buy It Now price, we will be delighted to let our restorer give it a polish, if that is your preference.
Due to the design of this coffer, with panelling to cront, sides and rear, this would make a good centrepiece.
Approximate dimensions in inches:
Height: 29.5
Width: 48.25
Depth: 20
Any number of photos cannot do this item justice. Viewing recommended.
Please study our other auctions for other unique / unusual antiques, vintage items and curios. New items are added regularly. Many of our items, including this one, have been custom / bespoke made to order, so inevitably if you miss out on this one, that is it. However, please ask, as occasionally we have similar items.
Please note that our items are mainly antique / vintage and therefore will inevitably show some signs of their past history and usage. We endeavour to point out any major defects that we find, which are out of the ordinary. We encourage and welcome viewings, so you can ensure you are satisfied before purchase. We also welcome and encourage any questions, before the end of the auction, as we want you to be pleased with your purchase. If your preference is for unique antique / vintage items, look no further, we will be delighted to help, if we possibly can. Furthermore, if you are in the rare position that you are not entirely satisfied, please do let us know and give us the opportunity to remedy.
