coffer

Hutch is an old word for chest or coffer, chiefly used now in the compound ‘rabbit-hutch.’

Then King Loc ordered another coffer to be opened, in which were only pearls.

When at last his rage subsided, he clasped his hands together and bent over the coffer once more.

With a hollow groan he fell forward over the coffer, striking his head upon the floor.

He took out the coffer and opened it; from it there fell out an apple, which rolled towards the couch.
