In medieval times, these antique coffers were used to store the gold pieces of the tax collectors and wealthy landowners. A sturdy metal plate with a lock and key system were used to secure their vast monetary holdings. On the side of these exquisite antique coffers, elaborate handles were constructed to handle the weight of these money keepers. These antique coffers were exquisitely detailed inside to provide storage compartments that allowed convenient access to often used items in the home such as candles and wicking and coins.
