Delightful Folk Painted Box with Birds
Ref: 5440
A delightful and rare marriage chest or box made for a dowry, the broad dates reflect the fact that the box was probably re-decorated for a second marriage, not that you’d want to lose the painting here which is done by a master painter who specialised in the painting of dowry furniture for brides in the Calvinist villages of Central Transylvania. Clean throughout.
