About the Item

Mid 18th century Swedish pine chest decorated with labyrinth circa 1730. Rare and beautiful Swedish pine chest.   Traces of original paint to the outside with decorative metal strap work and hinges, woodwork has taken on a great patina in its near 300 year life time. Interior of box lid is hand painted with a labyrinth and eyes, these were used to symbolise pagan beliefs which were still strong during this period in Sweden.  Further fitted with candle box which still bares its original paint. Obvious surface marks/fading and old historical repairs, but in good condition.  Original lock but no key. A real piece of Swedish history.
