Tyrolean wedding chest
Measurements: H.80 – L.156 – P.55
Period: early 18th century
Origin: Tyrol
Essence: Fir
Large Tyrolean chest, in fir wood, with shaped lowering.
The front is divided into five framed panels, three smaller and two larger.
The surface is painted with warm colors such as brown, brick red, ocher, the sides have a decoration that reproduces the grain of the wood. The absence of floral decorations, the patina and the type of construction indicate that the chest can be dated to the beginning of the 18th century.
In this era, in fact, Tyrolean painted furniture was decorated with very simple motifs, sometimes geometric, or more simply with backgrounds that reproduced wood, marble or other precious essences that could not be found in the Alpine valleys.
Internally this chest has been carefully cleaned and still has the typical small compartment with a folding door, also useful for keeping the lid of the chest open (visible in the photo).
