Interesting Carved Italian Cedar Coffer c1670

About the Item

A large 17th century carved coffer. A highly unusual & early example with all original cedar panels, the front carved with some wonderful & very interesting floral detailing to the centre flanked by a fantastic pair of naïve stylised lions. With a delightfully untouched patina, the most extraordinary dovetailed joints, finished with its original iron lock cabochon & hinges & some lovely carved detail running around the inner lip. A beautiful thing of which we've been able to find very for comparison. Italy, c1670 Wear commensurate with age, fair condition for a piece of this age, nice & solid with splitting to the lid & several chips, knocks & cracks, inner lock absent, just as you'd expect really given it's over 300 years old. Further images available on request.
