Decorative and practical, an arts and craft painted and carved box bench, it’s a self-consciously Hungarian piece, with tulips in silhouette and outline, and painted throughout, the nationalists at the end of the 19th century seized on the tulip as a national emblem, something that had been with the Magyar tribes since the migration from the steppes many centuries before.
