About the Item

A charming hand-carved marriage /dowry chest featuring intricate geometric and floral carvings on all sides. This beautifully crafted piece showcases exceptional workmanship likely of Central or Eastern European origin with its detailed chip-carved patterns and folk-inspired motifs — including rosettes, fan patterns and radiating stars are characteristic of regional folk art symbolism often representing prosperity, fertility, and good fortune. The chest opens from the top with brass hinges and also includes a small lower drawer offering practical storage space. The lid, sides, and front are richly decorated with symmetrical hand-carved designs while the legs are elegantly shaped and carved to match the overall motif. Crafted from solid oak, the piece has a warm natural patina that highlights the depth of the carving and the age of the wood. The chest remains in excellent antique condition with only minor wear consistent with age and use. This versatile piece can serve as a side table, bedside cabinet, or decorative storage chest adding rustic character and historical charm to any interior. Dimension: Height: 52.5 cm (20.67in) Width: 50.5 cm (19.88 in) Depth: 31.5 cm (12.40 in) Condition: Very good antique condition. Minor marks and wear as expected for age. Hinges and drawer function well. Dated 1890
