I was gifted this bedding box, they previous owner didn’t know any history on it, I’m not sure what era it’s from or if it has an value? It’s lovely solid dark wood and the carvings are beautiful. Just curious if anyone could shed any light on this at all! Thank you in advance! X
The face is that of a green man. Think they were popular with the gothic revival movement so poss 19th century (think church gargoyles etc.)
However the carving doesn’t look ornate enough to be Victorian somehow. Looks quite crudely done so my guess is that it’s a hand made piece. The wood looks to have some age to it tho.
You could ask/email local auctioneers or antique dealers to see if they can shed more light.
I’m no antique expert btw, but I’d be very happy for a present like that 😊.
