Beautiful antique hand-carved oak panel depicting a tranquil monk’s face in relief, framed within a circular reserve and triangular corner motifs.
Carved from a single solid block of European oak, this piece embodies the refined craftsmanship of the Arts and Crafts / Gothic Revival period (c.1880–1900). Likely made in Northern France, Belgium, or Western Germany, it was originally designed as a decorative furniture or architectural inset, now perfect as a stand-alone wall or desk display.
Size 14.5 by 14.5 by 3 cm.
The panel has developed a warm aged patina, with visible hand-tool marks and natural surface wear consistent with genuine 19th-century workmanship.
A timeless piece of European woodcarving that combines monastic serenity with Arts and Crafts authenticity.
