W: 55 cm (21 5/8")

Charming 18th Century Swedish marriage coffer, with its original painted decoration.

Dowry/ marriage chests were a widespread tradition across all continents. They were sent with the bride to her new marital home, and filled with sentimental pieces and bits and pieces for setting up a household.

This lovely example features a charming painted panel to the lid, and a dappled effect throughout. The interior is lined with sheet music.

This coffer is raised up on pronounced cabriole legs. It would make a good side table, offering the added benefit of storage.

A truly lovely piece, full of history and character.
