It appears to be a classic hunting hanger, probably 19th c. but could be late 18th c. or early 20th c.
Thank you for the info Sean, I'll look in that direction, while other information is of course welcome.
You'll find many examples in the "Recent Auctions" section at Hermann Historica:

I looked but I lost ... :\
This online resource can also be useful as a guideline.
