Rare early 17th century English oak boarded chest.

Completely original.

C.1620

H.72cm
W.155cm
D.45cm

All carvings and patination original. Many coffers were carved into, especially during the 19th century.

I placed many items above this coffer to show how something around 150 years before Cook landed in our country, can blend so well in any space.

Simply beautiful!

Hanging above, three framed Elizabeth Blackwell, The Curious Herbal 1730.
With 18th-19th century English pewter
with C19th English green majolica and C20th French green majolica.

A large 19th century Japanese Imari floor vase and a selection of Imari chargers.
