About the Item

Large, weathered, painted bridal chest from southern Germany. The chest has a very rustic appearance and displays plenty of character. The entire piece is primarily painted in green and red with floral decorations in the panels. The paint is quite worn, giving it a highly decorative look. The chest is in neat, but used condition. There are occasional traces of old woodworm, which have of course been checked and treated. It was customary in the past to give bridal furniture like this to the couple at a wedding. These pieces were later placed in a state room on the farm, which was only rarely used for distinguished guests or special occasions. A beautiful and decorative piece of history. This example dates from 1790. 60cm high, 155cm wide, 68cm deep.
