:
Tyrolean chest, painted in teal.
On the front it has the classic division of space into three main panels, two brick red and a central one in ochre-brown, containing floral decorations. In the upper part of the panels there are pleasant carving and fretwork motifs, in the shape of tassels and drapes, which soften the entire structure. The sides are also decorated with floral motifs, while the top retains only a few traces of the original painting. The chest was also used as a seat, and this explains the absence of decorations on the top. Original lock present but not working.

Partially restored furniture.
