17th Century French Oak Coffer Front Wall Hanging

A mid-17^th century oak coffer front now repurposed as a wall hanging, marked with an old inscription believed to be an archaic name or inscription from Brittany, France and dated ‘1641’.

This panel is ornately carved throughout, the two main panels naively carved with angels surrounded by a decorative patterned geometric border.

Evidence of the coffer is still present, the keyhole still visible at the top centre and the front of the legs to the base, telling the unique story of this 385 year old antique!
