Remarkable Folk Art Peasant Cupboard in Orignal Red
Ref: 5084
A medium-sized two door pine cupboard with drawer, the ornamentation is highly original with bold carved mouldings decorating the front & with an ornate top carving. Original red paint. It was in this general region inhabited by Ukrainians, ethnic Russians, Mennonites, Doubhokours & the like where peasant furniture takes on some really creative folk-art expressions & departures from the norm. The best place to find this furniture now would be in the Western Provinces of Canada as so many peasant farmers emigrated there in the early 20th century.
