AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This antique Turkmen wedding chest (also known as a dowry chest or yurt chest) originates from the 19th-century nomadic traditions of Central Asia (the border region of Afghanistan and Turkmenistan). These chests were used to safely store textile dowries, valuable jewelry, clothing, and family treasures. Crafted from robust solid wood, the front displays the region's characteristic, highly detailed carving. The round, disc-like central elements frequently serve as protective symbols in folk art (acting as an eye to ward off evil). The geometric diamond patterns are deeply rooted in traditional Turkmen ornamental art.

Seller's Story
Re-store, Re-Use, Re-Love <3
Fast Food, Fast Fashion & Fast Furniture are not our world. We cherish furnishings with history – made with a lot of care and from a time when good design and quality were more important than quantities, price and pack size for transport around half the globe.
We sell furnishings that we personally select and carefully restore. One by one. Some retain their original look, others are redesigned or upcycled and given a modern appearance with an emphasis on proportions, colors and details. We do offer some new items. These are produced in a fair environment with recycled or local materials.
For us, the idea of a more sustainable world is the guiding principle – in all we do.
We love to extend furniture lifetimes to contribute to a circular economy in the European furnishing industry. With us, you have all under one roof: Design lovers and sustainability enthusiasts. Win-win ;)!
