Description

This Swedish pine strong box, circa 1860, is a fine example of the traditional shaped form with domed lid. Painted in a vivid blue with silver-painted metalwork, it opens to reveal an unpainted interior. The lock is no longer present and there are losses to the metalwork around the base, overpainted in silver onto the woodwork, with expected surface marks and fading — leaving a characterful decorative piece.
