Originates from Austria, from the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, where the hand-painted furniture tradition remained alive in alpine and rural areas.<\/p>\n<p>Painted popular furniture from the Austrian and Tyrolean Alps is one of the richest craft traditions of Central Europe. Painted chests were first-rank trousseau pieces, decorated with floral, religious and heraldic motifs that identified the owner&#8217;s family origin and cultural belonging.<\/p>\n<p>The structure is of solid wood with mortise-and-tenon joinery, with the exterior surface lacquered in a dark burgundy ground. Over the ground, hand-painted flower bouquets in pink, blue and yellow tones fill each drawer front. On the first drawer, a female figure \u2014 likely a religious image \u2014 is distinguishable in the side panel. The edges are trimmed with round-head metal tacks. The knobs are of moulded white porcelain.<\/p>\n<p>The polychromy shows the wear of more than a century of use: the ground lacquer has lost its sheen, the floral pigments show a natural veil, and the tacks carry a light oxide patina. The decorative legibility of the piece remains fully intact.<\/p>\n<p>This chest suits romantic eclectic, European folk or wabi-sabi interiors. The painted polychromy makes it especially suited for bedrooms or characterful spaces.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Details<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Dimensions:<\/strong> Length 129 cm &#8211; Width 62 cm &#8211; Height 115 cm<\/li>\n<li><strong>Style:<\/strong> Folk art<\/li>\n<li><strong>Materials and techniques:<\/strong> Solid wood; metal hardware; porcelain knobs; hand-painted floral polychromy on lacquered burgundy ground.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Place of origin:<\/strong> Austria<\/li>\n<li><strong>Period:<\/strong> Folk art<\/li>\n<li><strong>Date of manufacture:<\/strong> Circa 1900<\/li>\n<li><strong>Condition:<\/strong> Good.
