Ref: 5726
Dramatic colouring and contrast in this Anatolian or East Mediterranan bridal box, the front with iron bound decoration in traditional design painted in earthy black pigment and especially for the bride the interior with a joyous folky depiction of steamer in gay colours. In the country of origin the collectors sometimes apply glass or wooden top to interior so the piece can be used as side or coffee table and lid open.
