Late 17th Century English Oak Wedding Coffer with Monogram and Carved Rosettes

An English oak wedding coffer from the late 17th century, with carved rosettes and iron inlaid monogram. Created in England during the last quarter of the 17th century, this wedding coffer features a rectangular planked top inlaid in iron with the monogram M B and carved with the date 1689. This top opens up to reveal a large unfinished interior convenient to store clothes or bedding. The façade is divided into three sections and showcases a nicely carved décor made of a series of rosettes of two different sizes. The sides and back are simply made of recessed panels. Boasting a nice patina revealing its good age and use, the coffer is resting on four block feet. With its clean lines, nicely carved décor and weathered appearance, this English oak wedding coffer circa 1689 will make for a great blanket chest placed in a bedroom or a storage unit in a living room.
