About the Item

Antique pine wedding chest from Central Europe, probably of German origin, circa 1850. The original color scheme with deep shades of black, red, and green is characteristic of the regional style and is reminiscent of classic Swedish and German painted furniture. The floral motifs, symbols of eternal life, adorn the front and give the chest a warm, historical appearance. Years of use as seating have weathered the paint on the lid, adding to its authentic charm. A unique, atmospheric piece that adds character to any interior, ideal for use as storage or decorative furniture.
