2 Part Oak Geometric Moulded Front Chest of Drawers.
Ref 258. £650.00
Dating to the late 1600's/early 1700's
Probably the best moulded front from
The Antiques Source to date.
Made in 2 parts, easier to get it up awkward early staircases.
Panelled sides.
Nice chunky mouldings to the top, waist and bottom.
The oak lined drawers are side hung. As would be expected in a piece of this age there is wear to the drawer runners which have had some restoration.
Old replacement stiles, and old replacement brass handles.
Some signs of long dead historic woodworm. Wax finish.
Approx Sizes: 39” Wide; 21” Deep; 36” High.
Bowl Not for Sale.
Small 6 Plank Oak Coffer Possibly made for a Child.
Ref. 025. £350.00
A diminutive coffer, dating back to the late 17th early 18th century. Simple gouge/scratch carving. Moulded top
It has seen life and has accordingly had some rustic repairs. The original wire hinges, see the holes on the top where these were, have been replaced much later in life with conventional metal hinges Look carefully and you can see on the back plank where the original hinges have pulled out and there are 2 rustic repairs.
To the front the wood is patched where the original metal lock has been forced open and the plate has been replaced with a brass escutcheon. Front of feet possibe replacements. The foot on the left hand side plank to the back has a piece spliced in.
With the exception of the replacement hinges all of these repairs are early.
The wax finish adds to the fine colour and patina.

Approx Sizes: 31” Long; 12” Deep; 18” High.
Oak Coffer with Panelled Front, Inlaid with Box or Holly. Ref 288. SOLD
Undoubtedly the earliest coffer handled by The Antiques Source. C. 1600’s.
Original height. All pegged. Original wire hinges.
Only the top remains of the candle or glove box.
Single plank top, sides and back.
Long dead woodworm have caused damage as would be expected in a piece of this age.
The carvings and the readed stiles and frames have been inlaid, but much of this is missing.
Rare to find one standing at its original height, as most coffers of this age have had their supports/feet cut down due to age related damage.
Fabulous colour and patina….If you love early furniture then this is one for you…..
How I wish we had room to keep this piece!
