Item Description
A beautiful 18th Century French table trunk, possibly dowry, whose interior and exterior, is lined with decorative domino paper.
This example has a wonderful striking blue and is of larger size than is usually found.
Paper with some losses as always, and hinges of domed top have been replaced. Otherwise in good antique condition.
Domino paper was a handmade paper decorated with geometric or floral motifs, printed using engraved woodblocks.
The patterns were historically painted or stenciled by hand with a brush, often by female artisans called pinceuteuses in the 18th century. Highly fashionable from the 17th to the 19th century, it was used to line boxes, trunks, and the inside of travel chests, or to wallpaper a small space.
Height 24cm. Width 46cm. Depth 28cm
