This is an extraordinary example of Early 19th Century German Folk Art. Traditionally used as a Marriage or Bridal Wardrobe, this piece features a deep forest green finish accented by striking orange-red trim and five beautifully preserved hand-painted floral panels. These panels display intricate, colorful bouquets—likely symbolizing fertility and prosperity—common in the Alpine and Bavarian regions during the 1800s.


This is a magnificent piece of cultural history. A German Marriage Wardrobe was traditionally commissioned for a bride as part of her dowry, meant to hold her linens and symbolize her new household. The hand-painted floral motifs on this specific piece are quintessentially German Folk Art.
