A superb example of an oak coffer or mule chest from the late 17th century featuring a wonderfully carved pair of Dragons or Wyverns to the panels.

In fantastic condition retaining the three original ring hinges, all oak boarding, the original drawer runners and iron escutcheon.

The brass handles are later additions but look to have been added in the early 18th Century rather than the single drawer pull.

Interestingly the background of the carving and scratch mouldings have been ebonized to make the carving stand out.

An excellent example standing well up on its feet and of a great colour and surface.

Circa 1680
