Antique Hand-Painted Green Storage Chest with Floral Motifs – Central/Eastern Europe, 43” Wide

A rustic antique wooden storage chest with charming hand-painted decoration. The piece features a deep green base accented by pink floral motifs on all sides, with decorative iron banding and wood trim. The lid is slightly uneven from age, a common characteristic of antique trunks, but it remains fully functional.

The inside is painted in a contrasting golden yellow, a hallmark of Central and Eastern European folk chests, adding a bright touch to the rustic exterior. At 43” wide, this chest is ideal as a blanket box, coffee table with hidden storage, or end-of-bed chest. Its folk-art style and original paint make it a unique and collectible piece.
