Laon Cathedral | The fence of the Sepulchre chapel

This oak fence dates from the 15th century and was probably made by local cabinet-makers. Moved several times, it has enclosed the Sepulchre chapel since 1840. Its decoration is typical of the late Gothic period: napkin folds in the lower panels, a finely chiselled clerestory, and two religious figures at prayer overlooking the whole. It is a remarkable example of late medieval woodcarving!
