- Lot Description
European, possibly Spain, ca. 19th century CE. A handsome wooden chest or casket, extensively carved with a wonderful figural program of bas relief scenes that are also beautifully painted in a rich color scheme of teal, azure blue, pink, green, red, brown, and white. The two end faces of the chest feature seated figures - a crowned king seated and holding a gospel (perhaps a royal or Christ the King) on one side and a seated saint or clergyman in a blue robe holding a holy book on the opposite side. On one of the longer sides is a couple looking out from the balustrade of a bridge, and opposite to this side is a scene depicting three men building a brick edifice - perhaps a support for the bridge depicted on the other side. The iron handle, hinges, and latch are also attractive, their hand-smithed quality adds to the charm of the piece. A wonderful piece created in a folk art style with medieval influences. Size: 8.75" L x 13.75" W x 12.75" H (22.2 cm x 34.9 cm x 32.4 cm)
Provenance: private Los Angeles County, California, USA collection, acquired by descent from the owner's father, collection amassed between 1950-1990

#136542A few minor chips/scuffs here and there. Carved imagery is still vivid and pigmentation is still strong. Slight separation to the mortise/tenon joints, but chest form is still strong. Latch does not close well (just a tad out of alignment). Ironwork has developed a nice patina.Condition
