18th Century French Carved Gothic Style Walnut Coffer or Trunk
A beautifully hand carved 18th century Gothic style coffer or chest handcrafted in Lyon of solid walnut, circa 1780s, having a thick and solid carved lift top with beveled edges and typical relief carved Gothic tracery consisting mainly of quatrefoils and pointed arches decorating the front and side panels. Raised on pistolet feet. The rich patina and fresh French polish allows the wood to shine. Coffers and trunks like this functioned as seats, tables, and even beds for children or very small adults. They were the main item of furniture in early French households, and it was fairly common to have a coffer in every room. This handsome French trunk has plenty of room to hold blankets, linens, toys, or clothes and will add extra seating to any room.
