Antique oak coffer

Worn softly at the edges through centuries of use, this 18th-century oak coffer carries the silent marks of a long domestic life. The surface is shaped by time, with a softened patina that sits alongside handmade nails and scalloped edge detailing. The coffer bears the traces of immemorial repairs and adaptations to its hinges and fixings. 

The result is a piece that remains resolutely functional, while retaining the layered character of its making and use.
