Description

This 19th century Swedish dome top coffer, circa 1824, is a fine example of traditional hand painted folk art furniture made from oak. The dome shaped lid retains its original hinges, and the front is hand painted with initials and the date 1824, as was customary for pieces often given as wedding presents. Inside, hand painted prints have been used to bridge shrinkage gaps in the timber. There is decorative metalwork with some minor losses, the original lock is present but not fitted, and minor surface marks and fading are consistent with age. Structurally strong and ready for everyday use.
