An enchanting country dowry cabinet was hand-carved of solid oak and chestnut in Brittany about 1900, with high-relief scenes of a wedding couple in traditional dress and picturesque wooden shoes.
Brittany or Bretagne is a maritime province of northwest France. Formerly a separate country, the "Breton" language is still spoken. Famous for their cultural traditions and distinctive dress, the local hand-carved furniture has outstanding workmanship, using native local hardwoods with picturesque traditional motifs.
The finish is excellent on this heirloom furniture, which traditionally descended with the daughters of a family, as part of their dowry.
Carved about 1900, this antique separates into pieces for easier moving. Brasses are original. There are minor shrinkage cracks, separations and warps as would be expected.
Dimensions are 55" wide, 20" deep and 7' 5" tall. The serving area is 40" from the floor.
