Of Gothic Importance
An unique opportunity to acquire one of the most important Gothic / French Renaissance Period items of furniture to come up on the Australian market.
This rare and historically important item dates from the reign of Henri II of France (1547 -1559) is a true masterpiece in art of carving. The large hounds stand guard to watch over the swords, hats, and cloaks that would have been stored on it during a time where only royalty would have been able to afford items of furniture such as this. Carved with the Crest of the House of Valois, the Royal house of France from 1328 to 1589, this piece is truly a one-of-a-kind and now you have an opportunity to be its next custodian in its almost 500 year history.
