Europe » Folk Art Carved & Painted Safe Cupboard
Ref: 5102
An unusual and presumably one-off piece, a primitive safe cupboard, one metre high, so a standard small cupboard base size, quirky decoration with swallows stencilled to the side and interior, carved details, showy decorative mouldings, owner signature to side. At the top is a dial which must have been part of locking mechanism. All in the original paint. Apart from being a rare and quirky historical item it is also a standard cupboard size so perfectly usable. This could and should be in a museum!
