AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautifully painted bridal chest.
This type is also known as a Bahut, intended as a traveling trunk.
Nice forged bands and lock.
The key works.

Rarely do you see such a beautifully painted chest with a domed lid.
Less than 1 in 1000.
Dated under the coats of arms 1777.
I don’t know which noble family these coats of arms pertain to.
What we do know is that this relates to a marriage because it bears two coats of arms.
