Amazing 19th cent. Folk Art Glazed Dresser
Ref: 2744
It's rare to find 19th century pieces from this area and even more rare to find a dresser. The folk painting on this piece is terrific, it is the sort of thing Bartok and other radical intellectuals were knocked out by when they went on their ethnographic and research trips into Transylvania 100 yrs ago. This one was found with a very primitive shallow wooden cradle still inside the drawer. The cradle has rope holes along the side and so would have been suspended from the ceiling and not too high off the floor to protect the infant from draughts etc.
