Antique Shepherd’s Coffer in Original Paint
Ref: 4548
I’ve always found a sense of mystery surrounding the best of these carved coffers, the most traditional form of Romanian furniture, made in the same way not just for 100s of years but perhaps millennia. This one has wonderful carving to the front, a charm to protect the owner of the box from possession by evil spirits. The colour is great too, the typical green colouring of the primitive furniture from the Bukovina, and in a nice dry blue-green mineral paint shade.
Carpathian Mountains, 18th cent.
