Ref: 6013
A mint condition folk painted marriage chest in the ‘cifra’ or fancy style, this work is around 50 years old but done in the traditional way, the paintwork imitates textile embroidery.
This piece formed part of a suite of furniture and textiles pieces that would constitute the dowry of the bride. All was kept in the 'clean room’ thereafter hence the immaculate preservation.
