A refined French carved wood panel from the Louis XVI period, dating to the late 18th century. Executed in solid oak and retaining its original painted surface, this panel is richly carved with the symbolic attributes of a gardener—tools, foliage, and agricultural motifs—arranged in a balanced neoclassical composition. The crisp linear framing and restrained ornament reflect the elegance and order characteristic of the Louis XVI aesthetic, moving away from Rococo excess toward classical clarity. The surface shows honest wear consistent with age, contributing to its soft patina and authentic presence. Minor losses and small accidents are visible, as expected for an architectural element of this period, without detracting from its decorative impact. Ideal for wall display, boiserie integration, or as a sculptural accent, this panel offers both historical character and refined craftsmanship, making it a strong decorative element for traditional or layered interiors.
