About the Item

The soft colors are all original on this hand-painted antique chest of 3 drawers from Hungary. The lovely floral painted panels were a traditional folk art design of the era set against the brick red/brown finish, adding a cheerful feel to this chest. Generations of use are revealed in the distress to the paint, worn down in many sections revealing the natural pine wood below. Every drawer, and especially along the top is where you see the most wear. This chest of drawers has been restored; a wax finish adds a soft luster to the piece, and while the 3 drawers still function with lock and key, the keys may also be used a as pulls if buyer chooses to no longer use the old locks. Chest is solid, stable and functional, including drawers. All scratches, cracks, dings, dried old worm holes, and age related separation are reflective of age and do not detract from the beauty nor function of this special hand painted chest. Many sections especially around the top show more wear, cracks and distress. Please refer to professional photos for clear understanding of color, condition, and details; photo lighting, individual monitor display and home lighting all impact how item is viewed.
