Superb Miniature Antique Pine Dowry Box
Ref: 3391
You won't be surprised to hear we bought this from a private collection, this is a very good condition and finely made miniature dowry, with the name of the German bride, "Anna" and the date "1890" - it could be an apprentice piece or a sample work - it demonstrates the skill of the cabinet maker and the decorator/painter, as everything is here - the fine construction, tidy neo-classical panelling and mouldings to the front and the nimble feet, the background is grain painted finely and nicely complimented by the subtle flower painting and tidy Gothic script. The interior has a candle tray and with original paper lining.
Central Europe 19th cent.
