Small Decorative Folk Painted Marriage Bench

A charmingly petite, folk-painted marriage bench from the renowned Kalotaszeg region in Central Transylvania, circa 1960. Though unsigned, this piece is likely the work of Janos Gergely, a master painter active during this period. Traditionally, such benches were part of a furniture suite crafted and painted specifically for a bride, making this an exquisite piece of cultural history.
