Gothic oak tracery panel

A late Gothic oak relief panel crisply carved with blind architectural tracery in three registers: at the top a row of slender engaged shafts rising to cusped lancets, the centre dominated by a large ogee arch filled with reticulated forms (mouchettes and daggers) and a narrow horizontal rail, and the lower register with paired two-light cusped arches above panelled “plinths.” The design consciously echoes the stone window work of the Flamboyant Gothic, adapted here for furniture or interior panelling. The carving retains lively tool marks and the rich, deep patina of long use.
