Antique Carved Walnut Large Kutxa Trunk from the Basque Country, Early 1800s

About the Item

Originating from the autonomous region between France and Spain known as the Basque Country, this oak kutxa trunk was hand-carved in the late 1700s. In the Basque language, kutxa translates to “box”, which is an apt description for this very large, well-carved trunk. Both sides are adorned with a square rosette with raised chamfered petals. Two similar carvings grace the front façade, but these motifs are arranged in a circular pinwheel fashion. In between are a series of geometric carvings of a rectangle with canted sides set within a circle and the still-functioning iron hasp . The tall block legs provide a high profile, with the front two legs embellished with a repeating foliate motif. A perfect bedroom accessory for storing blankets, pillows, or linens, our kutxa trunk can also be used in a living room, hallway, or bathroom.
