The coffer bears the usual minor knocks and scuffs overall consistent with age and use.
Scuffs and surface scratches to top are a little more pronounced but still fairly insignificant.
Very minor traces of old worming in places.
Minor old closed splits in places overall, none with any weakness or movement.
There is a replaced section of wood along the back edge of the lid, at the left hinge.
The carving appears to be contemporary, probably somewhere around 1680/1700, although it must be remembered that this is merely our opinion.
Generally the coffer is in good overall condition.
