Delightful Folk Art Peasant Marriage Coffer
Ref: 3180
Another delightful pine dowry box from the Kaloteszeg - this one you can see clearly is 19th century and has been re-decorated in the red and white folk art style in the early 20th century but this too has worn. In spite of the paint wear the overall condition is very good and clean to the interior.
The top or seat is a work of painted abstract art in itself, two off white squares with warm pine hints and bordered by faded flowers & the richest mineral reds, a folk art Rothko effect.
Central Transylvania 19th - 20th cent.
H: 57cm (22.4in)
