Gorgeous Folk Art Painted Marriage Box
Ref: 3171
Another great example of a dowry coffer from this region. Excellent condition inside and out. The front very clean and the top beautifully faded where the box has been used as a seat or had clothes and blankets covering it.
This box is probably 19th century and may have been re-painted in the 1920s. It belonged to the Abraham family. Family history and births are casually recorded in the interior - as testimony to the strong sense of tradition a "Janos Abraham" was born in 1920, 1948 and 1987.
Central Transylvania c.1890 - 1920
