Description

Moroccan Hand Painted Wedding Chest, Circa 1920. Features intricate geometric and arabesque patterns (known as zouak or tazouaqt in Morocco) painted in vibrant colours, primarily green, red, and gold tones.

These chests were traditionally used by a bride's family to gather and safeguard her trousseau, which included clothing, linens, and other cherished belongings, in preparation for her marriage. The chest would then be transported to her new home, serving as a status symbol and a functional piece of furniture
