Description

Folk Art Handpainted Treasure Chests – Floral Lacquer Design

Pair of handpainted solid wood folk art treasure chests featuring vivid floral motifs over a deep black lacquer finish. Each chest is richly detailed in traditional freehand brushwork—one adorned with bold yellow florals and an arched lid, the other decorated with multicolor blossoms framed by geometric borders. These pieces evoke the regional artistry of Eastern European and Indian folk painting, celebrated for its vibrant colorwork and intricate patterning. Beautiful as display accents or for storing jewelry and keepsakes, this duo brings warmth and handmade charm to any setting.

Condition

Overall good condition, with one chest in fair condition due to hinge wear (still functional). Both display surface wear, minor scuffs, and small paint losses consistent with age and use. No keys present. The interiors remain clean natural wood, and the painted designs retain bright color and folk-art character throughout.

Dimensions:
• Yellow Floral Chest (arched lid): 5 7/8" H × 10 1/4" W × 6" D
• Multicolor Floral Chest (flat lid): 4 3/4" H × 10 1/2" W × 6 1/4" D
