Household, Câmpanii de Sus, Bihor, 19TH CENTURY
The household comes from the upper valley of Criş Negru, an area at the foot of the Bihariei Mountains. The structure and organization of the household reflects the main occupations of the inhabitants of this area (animal husbandry and the cultivation of the earth on small lots) through the generous space allocated to the annexes: stables, warehouses, cocin and oloiniţă.
The constructions are made on a high stone foundation, with apparent wood walls - for annexes, and at the house plastered and varnished. The frames are adapted to the climatic conditions in the mountain areas, being covered with fir shingle.
The house includes a median tent, two living rooms and the porch with pillars and pillars on the facade. In the "big house" the organization of the interior is characteristic of the end of the 19th century, here can be admired by pottery belonging to the centers of Sălişte de Văcău, Crişioru de Jos and Leheceni, icons, crates with the bombing lid produced by the craftsmen from Budureasa or products of the blacksmiths from Vărzari. The fabrics of hemp and cotton (wipes, table faces, pillows) and the costume pieces made by the cojocarii from Vascau and the sums of Serbian, complete the patriarchal aspect of the house in Câmpani.
