About the Item

This large antique folk art hand carved wall hanging is unsigned but presumed to have been made in England in circa 1880 in the Victorian style. The wall sculpture commemorates the Royal Mail stagecoach which was used for long distance mail delivery in the mid-1800s. The carving is very intricately executed and depicts the Royal Mail coach going through a country forest. The frame, or border is also carved in a period raised diamond styled pattern.
