Ancient Picardy boat in solid wood

Superb boat or splash, in its juice, with a very nice line and a nice patina. It is probably from the region of saint omer and its marshes, and dates at least from the first part of the 20th century. Once used to transport the maraichers, its bottom is rather flat, in order to pass in shallow areas. The waterproofing is to be revised to make it navigable again. With a glass, it can also become a splendid coffee table in a large living room, be exploited vertically to create a shelf, constitute a decorative element in a bar or restaurant... And lots of other ideas. One of the benches is covered, a plank is missing from the second, note a few cracks in the hull, and a wrought iron handle chiseled by the years. A rarity.
