At Period Oak Antiques we have managed to acquire some very elegant antique chests that are nothing but class apart. Antique chests are being repurposed in todays's homes in the most versatile of the ways these days. While some become coffee tables or the side tables, others are useful for their storage capacity as well as enhancing the decor in whatever room setting is chosen. We have some of the finest options that will be loved by the collectors and enthusiasts.
 
For instance, we have this beautiful 16th century leather chest which is iron bound and painted. The dome shaped top, decorated with four coats of arms within a shield make this one a visual delight. Such trunks which work as chests have time and again been utilized in the bedroom at the foot of the bed.
 
Another domed shaped leather and ironbound trunk is this wonderful 16th century English . Such chests cannot be put to use as coffee tables because of their barrel top but can definitely provide the much needed eye candy elsewhere and great storage space too.
 
We are especially proud of this HENRY VIII OAK chest in our collection is one of the most elegant pieces of its kind. Make from 3 inch thick oak hewn planks it is a rich and classy looking piece that will add a great deal of visual interest to wherever it is put up. This ancient Late Medieval Oak chest has a great presence and offers great storage space too.
 
If however you are in need of a great focal point in an otherwise plain room then this Norman Oak Carved Chest from the 16th century is a great option. With the front carved with beautiful gothic tracery and flower motifs this one is certainly an eye catcher. Browse through our Chest and Coffers section of our website for more details and pictures of the available options.
