Miniature Dowry Trunk in Original Paint
Ref: 3375
An early miniature pine dowry trunk in original paint from Hungary or Central Europe.
The proportions of this piece and the baroque carving to both front and sides would normally indicate an early to mid 18th century date.
These pieces were often part of the dowry ensemble made for a marriage and would have held the wedding veil or jewellery. Alternatively this was an apprentice piece made by the craftsman to show his skills.
Central Europe mid-18th cent.
H: 30cm (11.8in)
