farmer`s chest

The farmer`s chest dates back to 1827 and is rustic in the best sense of the word. The hearty paintwork is naive and the grain of the wood is visible and noticeable. What makes this farmer`s chest from Styria special is its painted lid. The profiled frames on the front match the character of the chest. The lock and key are in perfect condition. The ratio of painted and unpainted surfaces creates a harmonious picture. I would describe the appearance of the farmhouse chest as honest, down-to-earth, and earthy.
