Rare oval wooden box, hand-painted in vibrant polychrome, dating back to the mid-19th century.
Originating from an Alpine or Nordic region, this box is a refined example of folk art, likely used to store small personal items, sewing materials, or travel goods during transhumance or alpine life.

The sides are crafted from thin wood, steam-bent and fixed with meticulous craftsmanship. The abstract floral decoration, hand-painted in red, yellow, white, and black on a brown background, covers the lid and body of the box. The interior is left raw, with visible signs of time and use. A fascinating object, perfect for folk art collectors or rustic decor lovers.
