Vintage Pine Folk Painted Marriage Box
Ref: 5953
A vintage pine marriage box with traditional folk painting in the so-called Cifra or Highly Decorated style, from the Kaloteszeg area, east of Cluj in Transylvania. It’s so clean outside and in, this is because it was looked after but also barely used, a whole suite of furniture and embroideries and textiles would be kept in the clean room, on display, making up the dowry of the bride.
