About the Item
Rare medieval oak coffer carved with Gothic tracery, featuring lancets and quatrefoils characteristic of Northern French Gothic architecture (Picardy / Artois) in the 14th century.
The front displays a strictly architectural decorative programme, directly derived from stone tracery of ecclesiastical buildings of the period. The coffer is of solid oak construction with traditional joinery, reflecting its original function as a value or document chest.
The surface shows a fine, untouched patina consistent with age and use.
One side carrying handle is missing.
The lower section has undergone an old functional repair, likely due to wear; the base appears to be original.
No Renaissance or later stylistic elements are present, supporting a fully Gothic date.

Rare Gothic Oak Panel Carved With Vine And Grape Cluster Motif, Circa 1320–1400
Located in Bilzen, BE
"Rare Gothic Oak Panel Carved With Vine And Grape Cluster Motif, Circa 1320–1400"
Rare Gothic Carved Oak Panel with Vine & Grape Motif, c. 1320–1400
This exceptional carved oak panel is a fine example of pure Gothic design, originating from Northern Europe—most likely Flanders, northern France, or England—and dating to the early–mid 14th century.
The panel is richly carved in openwork with an interlacing vine scroll bearing clustered grapes, a motif strongly associated with medieval Christian symbolism, representing the Eucharist and the “True Vine” of Christ. The design is entirely Gothic in conception, free of any later Renaissance influence, with flowing, organic tracery rather than strict symmetry.
A rectangular mortise is present to one side, indicating that the piece originally formed part of a cabinet or small door—possibly from a church sacristy...
