Exceptional Folk Painted Armoire with Four Seasons
Ref: 5700
An exceptional folk painted pine marriage cupboard in neo-classical architectural style decorated with painting of rose trellis, bouquets and on the doors four panels with naive depictions of country working life in the four seasons. This is of course a metaphor for human life too and the appearance of Mary and Jesus in the central panels and the symbolic vine down the centre moulding assure that Time will be defeated and through the imitation of Christ love conquers all.
Very good condition, shelves and hanging space within.
