Superb Folk Art Marriage Trunk
Ref: 1749
An antique pine box or dowry trunk, coffer, chest, from a small area of Transylvania famed for the almost aboriginal looking beauty of their folk painted furniture. This piece indicates the hand of one of the master painters of this style working in the latter part of the 19th century and early part of the 20th. The painted tulips tell us it is made by an Hungarian ethnic group and most of the detailing of the painting has symbolic meaning within the community.
