Antique Pine Marriage Box with Folk Painting
Ref: 4442
An antique pine trunk or coffer in very good condition with attractive brown grain painting and blue, white and green flower painted panels to front, it is also inscribed to the owner a Janos Manzel and dated 1883. We often think of marriage furniture as being only inscribed to the bride but here we see it was also customary for the groom to have personalised furniture for his Sunday best and keepsakes.
