Primitive decorated / painted bridal chest from Germany, specifically from the Swabian Alps. The chest has a very rustic appearance and shows plenty of character. This chest is in neat condition for its age, although there are naturally some light signs of use. There are occasional old woodworm traces, which have of course been checked again. The chest has a well-functioning lock with key. In the past, it was customary to give bridal furniture like this as a wedding gift to the couple. These pieces of furniture were later 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. This example dates from 1737. 76cm high, 148cm wide, 65cm deep. This item must be picked up. Or inquire without obligation for delivery costs.
