This coffer consists of a two plank oak top of fine patina with a moulded edge leading down to a superbly embellished front consisting of vertical chamfered applied moulded decoration with a dental moulding below.
This leads down to a central square moulded panel with moulded oak & fruitwood panels with outer moulded geometric decoration forming a larger square design.
