large french 19th century oak coffer dough bin

Description

Dating to circa 1800 this super Normandy flour bin / coffer is in good condition. The coffer is constructed in oak with a fruit wood top.
The srong legs have mortice and tenon joints and are pegged for added strength.
The inside of the bin is painted and there has in the past been a small repair (3 inches x 1 inch) with a piece of zink. This is where a mouse has tried to gain entry in to the bin at some point.
The hinges being very old are actualy later replacements. This is normal with coffers of this age.
The coffer has been cleaned and polished with 3 coats of wax giving a fine warm patination.
There has in the past been a small amount of insect attack to coffer but this is historical and has been sprayed with a 5 star 30 year treatment.
The coffer measures; 64.25 inches wide, 24 inches deep and 33.5 inches high.
The cost of delivering this coffer to England, Wales and Scotland (Glasgow-Edinburgh) is �60.00
