Exceptional Blue Painted Antique Dowry
Ref: 1877
An exceptional antique pine coffer or dowry box, very good condition, attractive sky or powder blue and folk painting with date, and an unusual small to mid size. Useful as end of bed, under the window, play box or for the collector. The lock plate suggests it is a piece from around 1820 that has, as is typical, been kept in the family and re-painted for a family marriage in 1906. Earlier blue paint and decoration is evident beneath the later sky blue.
