This small, late 18th-century marriage box from Normandy features beautifully hand-painted floral decorations on wood. Traditionally, such boxes were given as wedding gifts, symbolizing love, prosperity, and fertility. The box was used to store the bride’s trousseau or personal keepsakes and was passed down through generations.
The rich colors and detailed floral patterns reflect the customs and artistry of rural France during this period. Its rare, compact size adds to its uniqueness, making it an exceptional example of French folk art. The patina is beautifully timeworn.
