Şuici household, Argeş county, century. the twentieth
Coming from the hilly region of Muntenia, Gheorghe Bângă's household in Șuici village was rebuilt in the Village Museum in 1936. The ensemble is composed of a "connected house", a stable with provisions and a corn strap. The main occupations of the inhabitants of the area, illustrated here by the annexes and the inventory objects, were the fruit growing, the exploitation of the wood and the shepherd.
"The house with connection" or "in the winery" is characteristic of the ethnographic area of Argeș from the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the twentieth century. It brings together two constructions arranged at a right angle, related to each other through a covered prispe extension. Such houses appeared as a result of the need to ensure a separate home to the young family that was constituted after the marriage of the youngest girl. When two families did not live in the same building, part of the house fulfilled the function of representation, being reserved for the reception of the guests, and the other was destined for daily life.
Raised on a stone base, which houses the cellar and birds of birds, the house in Șuici has the walls of fir beams, plastered with mortar and painted. The roof in four waters, for each of the two constructions, is provided with small shirt covers. The plan comprises two rooms on each side.
The interior arrangement is differentiated in the two building bodies. In the first two rooms, larger and more adorned, the pieces of decorative character are concentrated: furniture produced in the centers from Sălătruc and Șuici, carpets, wipes and embroidered handkerchiefs. The rear construction brings together a tent and a living room. Here are various household tools and utensils, such as tissue war, simple and functional pieces of furniture or ceramic vessels coming from the center of Curtea de Argeș.
