Tyrolean Wedding Chest, Late 18th–early 19th Century
This box stands out for its superb original polychromy against a dark background (midnight blue/gray). The front is divided into three molded panels:
The two large side panels feature stylized bouquets of flowers (yellow sunflowers and blue flowers), typical of rustic Alpine iconography.
The central panel frames the lock with two floral motifs in red and ochre.
The chest has a flat, overhanging lid, painted pine green and edged in bright red. Its compact proportions (50 cm wide) make it a piece of occasional furniture that is particularly easy to incorporate into any space.
Original unfinished wood. Includes the interior side compartment (secret/jewelry box) and its long hinges with wrought-iron strips.
Cut-out wrought-iron lock plate.
Original lock with visible mechanism under the lid.
Comes with its original wrought-iron key.
