Superior Folk Painted Dowry Chest
Ref: 4036
A superb quality antique pine marriage box or chest from Pardubice or Riesenberge in Northern Bohemia. The folk painter drew their inspiration from the flowers of the countryside. This style of folk painting was highly regarded in the 19th century - and in recent times - and is up there with the best. It's very unusual to have both a chest and wardrobe near enough in colour and style to match - they were almost certainly decorated by the same master painter.
