A lovely example of a traditional Wallachian or Sarcophagus Chest from the mountains of Transylvania, this piece came from the large collection of such ‘arks’ and was perhaps the most rare piece in the collection being especially long and finely carved with original charcoal black painted decoration. Made of beechwood. Gallery condition.
