Деревянный сундук у многих как предмет мебели is associated primarily with fairy tales. We imagination draws a hut in which there are wide benches, a huge wooden table, not far from a buffet, a spinning wheel and, by all means, a chest in which they have always kept all the most valuable. Today we imagine that the legends of the past are kept there. Although this does not prevent the wooden chest from being used as modern furniture. The mysterious image of it will give your house a special flavor, as well as a light tint of antiquity.
Chests wooden for antiquity are consideredwithout a doubt the brightest objects of antique furniture. They were popular in ancient Egypt in the XIII century. This country was the homeland, as it seems, of such a Russian piece of furniture of a peasant hut. Masters from Russia, going to work in Byzantium, learned gradually European traditions, presenting their culture with a wooden trunk.
Постепенно он приобрел свои уникальные качества и took the place of the keeper of the whole family in the house. In it were dowry, money, clothes, as well as various household trivia. In Russia, a fire was not uncommon. But even in these situations, the chest allowed to preserve family values, as it could easily be taken out of the burning hut by the handles.
In Russia were distributed 2 types of chests,one of them was with a convex hinged lid, the second with a flat one. Also there were small models resembling caskets; The larger ones were intended for the storage of clothing, food. For strength, they were lined with strips of iron. It is also worth noting that the wealth of the family was measured by the number of chests.
Not everyone knows that the chest is a prototypebag, chest, casket, suitcase, table, cabinet, and safe. "Expanding" from the number of things, it turned into a modern cupboard. Due to this, now in many apartments there is minimalism - cabinets take up a little space, a chest - and even less. Thus, it was the wooden trunk that solved the task of compact storage of various things.
Some professions are also associated with it,considered always not related to furniture. Once there was a specialty - the packer of clothes in chests. So, one of them was the Frenchman Louis Vuitton, unknown to the whole world. In this case, he became a real professional, because only Louis could lay clothes in such a way that afterwards there was not a single crease left on her. Of course, his popularity did not begin with this, but the chest holds a certain place in the fate of the greatest designer. It was he who turned this thing into a field furniture - in his image were created travel bags and suitcases.
Wooden trunk is made of a suitable material.More precisely, from oak, but sometimes from birch, although the furniture of the peasants was made of the cheapest breeds of wood. The best Russian forest was the Vologda. Of the larch growing in those forests, they made stunning chests, in which the moth never appeared.
They are not a thing of the past - today designerswork often enough over the interior of the premises in the traditional Russian style. Accordingly, the chest is one of its main attributes. In this interior, naturalness is an unspoken rule, since all furniture consists only of natural natural materials. This will also include a chest, a cupboard, benches, a fireplace, a long table decorated with carvings. On the windows must hang linen curtains, the walls will be in the tones of the tree, but for the floor it is best to use the board. This all will create an atmosphere far from the bored of all the big city.
