AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Antique French coal box – embossed metal relief panels – tavern scenes in Breughel style – circa 1920 – 45×32×40 cm


Description (including French origin, premium formulation)

Beautiful antique French coal box from around 1900–1930, featuring richly crafted embossed metal relief panels with lively inn scenes in Breughel style. The metal shows a warm bronze/brass-like oxidation, typical of North French workshops from this period (Lille/Rijsel region).

The chest features the original wooden interior, sturdy and functional. It is not only collectible but also highly decorative in country, rustic, or classical interiors.
