Rare Folk Art Pine Dresser with Painted Samovar
Ref: 1616
An exceptional antique pine folk art painted cupboard from Vologda in North Central Russia. Probably made for a marriage. The central fielded panels with painted flowers are especially attractive. Sometimes the Russian peasants painted animals, figures and other motifs on doors, walls or on the sides of furnishings, here most unusually is a samovar or tea urn below an abstract motif. This piece was bought over 10 years ago in Russia and has been awaiting restoration since then. Museum-quality.
Vologda mid-19th cent.
