austrian antique painted farmhouse chest

The antique chest from Tyrol with its incredibly fine and delicate floral painting in black has charm. The painting is a stencil painting that combines archaism and playfulness in the choice of motif. The year of origin 1702 can be found at the upper corners of the large fields. The chest has a discreetly sawn base board. The softwood has a great patina. An expressive piece of furniture!
