Its heavy, lived-in character and original paintings give it an incredible appearance. Both the design of the cabinet and the paintings are simple and primitive, but authentic and a typical example of folk art from the region. The cabinet is decorated with flowers and stripe motifs. Another striking detail is the carved ornament on the crest. The cabinet has been thoroughly checked and professionally restored, with an eye for originality and character. The construction is solid, the painting is worn but preserved, and the patina has been retained. The layout consists of one drawer and a later added rod. The cabinet can be locked with the original working lock. It should be noted that the key has a crack, but it is still sturdy and can be used without any problems. Old, sporadic woodworm traces have been checked and treated. The cabinet can be dismantled for transport. 187 cm high, 130 cm wide, 55/60 cm deep. See less
