Antique Plank Coffer with Geometric Carving
Ref: 3611
A very good condition flat topped coffer hutch of a rarely seen form being made of many thickly hewn planks. Carved circles and lines and maker's marks to front and to the stile legs lend a subtle and archaic decoration and in the centre the date, 1906. This may be a later inscription or perhaps is original to the date of manufacture but at any rate we can surmise that this was the dowry coffer to a shepherd wedding.
Eastern Europe c.1800-1900
