Rare painted chest from the 1700s, likely from around the middle of the century or perhaps even earlier, in complete wooden integrity and original pictorial condition, from Lower Austria, cm.125 x 66 d. and h.76. Refined patterns with Baroque-style panels with elegant vines and Rococo curls. With a warm, antique patina and refined patterns painted in vibrant colors. The top is original. The painting on the top/seat is worn, as is understandable, given that it has been used as a seat for centuries. The piece is in overall good condition. Hinges, escutcheon, and original lock are functional. Key present. Excellent for placement in a whimsical, modern, and refined setting. Piece in solid wood with slight and pleasant satin shellac polishing, signs of age and patina consistent with its age. Charming and vibrant antique furniture perfect also for inclusion in a modern context for an original and classy ensemble.
