Mid-19th Century Swedish Hand-Painted Farmhouse Trunk
Authentic Swedish Folk Art with Elegant Detailing
This mid-19th-century Swedish farmhouse dome-top trunk is a stunning example of traditional Scandinavian craftsmanship and artistry. Hand-painted with an aged finish, it captures the charm of a bygone era, evoking the rustic beauty of rural Swedish life. The front of the trunk features a three-letter monogram P A D, framed by gracefully painted leaves and floral motifs against a serene blue background. Constructed with wooden pegs, this coffer resembles the larger kista chests commonly found in traditional Swedish homes. Its gently curved dome top and vibrant yet weathered paintwork make this trunk not only a functional storage solution but also a delightful piece of Swedish folk art, adding rustic charm to any space.
Functional and Full of Character
Opening the dome-top lid reveals a clean, white-painted interior, perfect for storing linens, keepsakes, or household items. The original hinges and lock remain intact, though the key has been lost over time, a testament to the chests long history. With traces of historic woodworm that have been thoroughly treated, this sturdy trunk has withstood the test of time and remains a versatile piece for home décor. Whether used for storage or as a decorative statement piece, it brings a touch of Swedish country charm to any room.
