A CSÍKI SZÉKELY MÚZEUM ÉVKÖNYVE 2004 217-228 KARDALUS JÁNOS A CSÍKI BÚTORFESTÉS Abstract: [Painted furniture from Ciuc] Beginning from the 16"'-18"- century painted urniture has spread not only in Europe but also in the Szekler's region. The furniture used in ; houses was painted and decorated with floral patterns. Not only the rooms but also the tchens were furnished by this kind of furniture. The flourishing period of the painted furniture was the 19"' century. The forms of the furniture in different regions of the Szeklerland were mitarian, but they had particular decorations. Many of them have been preserved certifying people's mentality and the civilisationdevel of the houses. More hundred years' affection for painted furniture has become a symbol. Villagers have used them as symbols expressing their existence and wellfare, their affection for beautiful and precious things and their belonging to the given community. In this tradition, beside other Szekler zones we can also find the region of Ci"c with its particular characteristics. The present study is a fragment of a dissertation and aims to present the painting of furniture from this region, to demonstrate that the joiners' work from Ciuc is not inferior to those already known so far.

Camerele dar sj bucätäriile gospodariilor erau înzestrate eu mobilier pictat, ornamentatîn special eu motive florale. Perioada de înflorire a mobiléi pictate a fost secolul al XIX-lea. Desi formele mobilelor din diferitele zone aie Secuimii erau unitare, ele au fost decorate eu Ornamente particulare. Multe dintre ele s-au pästrat pana în zilele noastre, atestând spiritul creativ al celor care le-au fäurit sj gradul de culturä a interioarelor locuintelor.

A bútor ités táji tagolódása a Székelyföldön A kwiOrfestés a Székelyföld tájegységeiben többé-kevésbé egyidőben jelent meg, élte virágkorát és indult hanyatlásnak. Mind a megjelenését, virágzását, mind pedig annak hanyatlását azonos tényezők határozták meg. A napjainkig fennmaradt festett bútorok és a bútorfestésről szóló szakirodalom, valamint kutatásaim által képet alkothatunk a bútorfestés arányairól, ' Részlet A festett népi bútor a Székelyföldön című disszertációból.
