This beautifully painted chest is a Hungarian marriage chest. It is traditional for the bride-to-be to collect all her items for her new married home in the chest and on the day of the wedding the parents paint the chest - usually including the year of the wedding and give the chest as a present to the bride and groom. 

This was a good sized English trunk, all in the original powder blue paint. (I won't mention the fact that the customer that bought it had it stripped)
