A wonderful and rare original painted pine and hardwood box settle. Solid piece, in superb condition, a great folk art production made in the Hutsul tribal lands in the Eastern Carpathian mountains over 100 yrs ago for a marriage. Bold swept arms, vibrant flower painting, dated from first decade of 20th century which may be a re-dating as often occured for a later marriage within the family. This piece was prized from the private collection of a friend to whom we are most grateful.
