A fantastic antique marriage or bridal box from circa 1780 Normandy, France decorated with hand-painted floral details that grace every surface, including a small bird on the top. Vibrant pink and cream painted tulips on a dark blue background have aged marvelously over the past two centuries, and expresses the trunk’s age in a manner that one can both see and feel. The minimal metal hardware has all been worked by hand. The domed top provides a distinguished style that sets this exceptional trunk apart from any ordinary box, and knowing that it was crafted to celebrate a special milestone makes it even more dear.
