This early vernacular oak coffer or kist, is made using a simple boarded construction, the straight sides and sledge-type feet suggest it’s from Wales or the West Country. The legs are an extension of its body, suggesting it was made between 1650 - 1700, however we believe the straight, flat lid is a later 18th Century addition. This is a wonderful piece thats always been looked after, its in good sturdy condition for its age.
