Description

This early 19th century Swedish folk art cupboard, dated 1813, is a hand painted pine piece in warm wheat tones, profusely decorated in the kurbit method and initialed and dated just below its lift-off cornice. More substantial than typical examples, it offers generous storage with original mouldings, working locks and key. Showing expected surface marks and fading for its age, with old woodworm damage long since treated, it remains a beautiful piece of rustic furniture ready for everyday use.
