Painted folk art bridal wardrobe

Exceptional antique bridal wardrobe, personally one of my favourites that we currently offer. Although this wardrobe is not dated, we can safely assume that the piece was made around 1750 in the Northeastern Oberpfalz / Egerland. The design is very primitive and simple, as is the painting. The panels are decorated with a light blue motif, and the wardrobe itself is in the original Faux-Bois painting. The wardrobe is made of particularly thick pine planks and is therefore of rather heavy quality. Of course, there are some light signs of use, although the wardrobe is still in surprisingly good condition for its age. There are some old repairs visible on the door, but otherwise there is little to note. The wardrobe still has the original working lock with key and the layout of the wardrobe has remained unchanged in 275 years. In the past, it was customary to give bridal furniture like this as a gift to the couple at a wedding. These pieces of furniture were then placed on the farm in a show room that was only rarely used for important visitors or special occasions. A beautiful and decorative piece of history.
