Restoring a vintage coffer chest

[@anitamorales1506]

In all of my long years I never have come across a coffer chest. I went on google to look it up and was amazed at all of the information. I can't imagine why it has holes drilled into it or what it was used for. It would be interesting to know just how old it is and the back story. You have a knack of finding unusual pieces and it's fascinating to watch you fearlessly attack them! I love that molding, never seen anything like it before. I love the way it came out. I am a fan of different colors of wood and the same piece. Thank you for sharing this with us. You are amazing!

I am so lucky where I am when it comes to finding furniture just so many auctions everyday really around here. I do keep my eye out for different odder things. When I spotted this coffer really want to get it luckily no one else really wanted it so it was a good deal. Glad you like the end result this is one of those rare pieces i am keeping, well for now at least.

So Happy that you Loved the original stain wood after shellacking it!!! ❤️✨❤️ Sooo Rich & Gorgeous!!! Loving the gold accents too!! Simply Marvelous!!! 💓💫💓

I am glad you liked it. I was quite surprised how good that wood with just a shellac I had my stain lined up and ready to go but it looked great without one. Good thinking about the holes too being air holes makes sense.

Starting to watch Ria but paused. Those big holes are in case a child gets in and can’t get out. Basically for air. Now gonna continue to see what you do with this treasure box!!!
