Painted Swiss stone pine chest, featuring a large lower drawer and a sculpted base. The front features a division defined by molded, raised frames that delineate five panels. The two larger central panels, with a blue background, feature polychrome floral motifs depicting bouquets of roses and tulips tied with a white ribbon. It also bears the name of the patron or a dedicatory inscription and the date of creation, “1853.” The three vertical dividing panels, set against a brick-red background, feature ramages in shades of white. The lower section is occupied by a large open drawer, featuring faux wood grain decoration and a ramage in light blue that connects the two metal knobs. The interior retains its original configuration in natural Swiss stone pine, complete with a side storage compartment with a lid.
