Exceptional Folk Painted Dowry Box
Ref: 2561
The painting on this box or antique pine coffer is of really high quality, there were master painters of this kind of thing until well into the 20th century, producing a range of furniture and interior decoration for marriage suites, all done in each tribe's traditional folk style but clearly it was not just painting by numbers.
This one made for Kate Michaels or Miklos Kata in 1866. It is very clean to the interior. Feet are later addition. Could easily be 1800 or 2800 price ticket but isn't.
Eastern Europe c.1860
