središnji sadržaj

There is an interesting cardboard template in the Bukovac House collection, likely crafted by someone from the Bukovac family, possibly a daughter, representing the motif found carved on the chair backs. It features a floral design with a flower in the central ellipse and tendrils around it.

An identical motif from the backs of wooden chairs was drawn in pencil drawing and cut from cardboard with a visible mark of the Croatian biscuit factory Bizjak. The company began production in 1923 (KB-419).
