@MamaEule It was a good year, that's for sure! And maybe your heart is 'a beautiful place to hide some treasures', too 😁! Have a GREAT Halloween, you all!!πŸ₯³

A very beautiful place to hide some treasures 🀩 but maybe I'm also a little biased because I'm Anno 1986, too 🀣

@francesjka You could well be right with your guess of origin (though it also could well be from Sweden) - and you're very right with your statement about the amount of work it needs to repair it. But I'm grateful it isn't me who has to do it as I do not own that box - and I am definitely not in search for a new career ;-)!!

Well, as an afterthought, and another look at the picture, the artwork almost looks Austrian,
although, it is difficult to tell the influences, I am just commenting on the way the colors are
adapted and the floral shapes remind me of baroque. Although recently painted in 1986, there are some schools using these traditional methods today.
Heicel, it is quite an undertaking however, well worth the effort. Once we found 10 large chests and 2 armoirs in Austria - all beautifully handpainted however, we had to completely sand down and repaint and seal the inside wood - it was a huge job! Plus we had no idea of the dates, but knew they were antique - we took photos and sent them out and they were all sold in a week!
With strength and energy, this can turn out to be a whole new career! Good luck!

@francesjka Thanks for commenting! I see it just like you; I do own several antique pieces and had some rescued that looked quite tattered. With - as you say - beautiful result!

This is quite lovely, when we had our business, we sold a few like this - antiques, mostly
over 100 years old - handpainted furniture is always in big demand. This one can be refinished
with beautiful results - the value is there and it is fun to own a really special piece like this.
Thanks for listing.

@bluebird42 Very good plan! We do indeed have much in common - especially concerning ideas ;-)!!

It is beautiful! even just sanding the top and painting it a solid blue-grey color would be a big help for it. To imitate the design on the front would be very difficult but the same color as the background for the top would make it look good again.

Heicel

@Isaly2 Well... It'd take some work, but it would be worth it! Thanks for your comment!

@Fishes Thanks for your comment! It sure was logely - once πŸ˜‰

Heicel

@thehippo Nope. But I lived in the area back then where this type of pattern is quite common. Thanks for your comment!

thehippo
