About this piece
back to topA 17th century hand carved English oak cartwheel wall panel, formerly the front of a coffer or chest.
Dated to the 1600s, many hours of skilled work have gone into the creation of this piece. The original chest would have been crafted for someone of high wealth and importance, to hold all manner of treasures or relics.
A repeating cartwheel pattern repeats throughout all raised edges. The circular design frames three recessed central panels.
The designs within resemble ornate hinges with rivets as if created by a blacksmith.
