Superb Marriage Box with Metalwork in Original Blue Paint
Ref: 5595
Another beautiful example of a tribal Anatolian marriage chest from our recent shipment, this one with very good condition decorative and symbolic metalwork and with original blue paint throughout.
Cedar pine, fragrant and with no evidence of worm. Clean. Handles to side. These bridal boxes were made to go onboard ship to accompany the bride to her new home and this one has a boat painting to the interior of lid, with evidently some re-touching.
