To the modern eye these all look like pretty heavy, long term storage but medieval people knew no different and so were used to carting heavy stuff around, especially if indentured servants working for someone of a higher status, they would have just got on with it.


The lighter and more fragile objects might have perished more easily. There are a few extant boiled leather coffers around though…

it seems that the picture from Osprey book is really a fresco from castle Issogne

That link from 2013 no longer works, but there is one on Web Gallery of Art https://www.wga.hu/art/m/master/xunk_it/xunk_it3a/2scene01.jpg (search web gallery of art for Castello Challant, Issogne (Valle d'Aosta)) It fits what I was going to say, which was that late medieval and early modern people loved to store things ready-to-use on pegs. That is great in a late medieval and early modern house, more difficult in a modern living history event in a field!
