Antique Tyrolean chest dated 1846. It features two panels with vases containing flower bouquets set against a blue background, framed by red mouldings. On the sides and in the center are painted pilasters with vegetal motifs. The inscriptions on the panels display the original owners’ names, typical of Tyrolean wedding chests. The shaped base, painted with ivory-colored floral patterns, adds elegance to the piece. Beautiful original hardware in working condition, including key and lock. See less
