From the Cleveland Museum of Art record

Elaborately carved chests were given by husbands to their wives on the occasion of the wedding. Inside the home, such chests were used for the storage of clothing and were elaborately painted and gilded. This chest is an example of a type produced in Barcelona from the late 1400s onward.
