LIDDED WALL BOX

This is a most unusual, lift-lid wall box that we were fortunate enough to find in Ohio.  It retains its original red paint with gold trim and pinstriping, decals on all 4 exposed sides, great free hand paint decoration on the back board and the original 2 pairs of hinges on the lid.  In addition to the hand painted gold and black decoration, the back board has a most unusual profile.  This wall box appears to be made of poplar.  It probably originated in Ohio and dates to about 1870-1880.  12 1/4" wide x 7 7/8" deep x 8 7/8" high.

HEART BENCH

This is a unique 2 seat bench with a Heart Cut-out on the back in the original sage green paint and woven seat.  The turner who made this chair pulled out all the stops in conceiving and fabricating this bench.  First, the front and back posts are nicely turned with feet, finials, and sets of rings.  Second, the box stretchers are much more substantial than expected and they have turned medial seat supports on the front and back of the bench.  Third, the back  is topped by an arched board that is centered by a large cut-out heart.  This board sits atop a stile with a row of 13 turned spindles.  Finally, the shaped arms have bold circular hand holds.  This most unusual bench dates to c. 1880-1900.  40 1/2" wide x 24 1/4" deep x 35" high.

We found this case of 5 drawers in Maine where it had been in a private collection for the past 15-20 years.  This desirable piece of furniture contains five drawers, 3 of which are fitted.  All of the drawers are finely dovetailed at the front and back.  The case retains its original red paint on white pine and sits on a cut-out bracket base.   The surface is nicely worn and has a great patina that would enhance any country collection.  This piece probably originated in Maine and dates to about 1840-1860.  12" wide x 15" deep x 30" high.

HANGING DIVIDED SHELF

We found this uniquely designed hanging shelf in Ohio.  It retains its original gray-green paint which has mellowed to a soft, dry color.  The layout and design of the shelves make a bold, artistic and sculptural statement themselves which could only be enhanced by the inclusion of the owners prized possessions.  We believe this piece originated in the midwest and date it to c. 1870.  34" high x 18 3/8" wide x 6 3/8" deep.

We found this sweet little child's chest in Mass.  It features one slightly overhanging drawer over two drawers in a case with scalloped sides and cut-out feet.  The case is assembled with square nails.  There has been some restoration to the piece which does not detract from the overall presentation and the chest is priced accordingly.  This piece retains its original paint decoration on white pine and dates to c. 1850-1860.  10 5/8" w x 10 1/8" h x 5 5/8" d.

PRIMITIVE CHILD'S WINDSOR

No, we didn't find this in Goyne-Evans. However, we did find it in central Kentucky.  This child's arm chair has a tablet crest rail with simple turned stiles and arm supports on a hand planed seat with turned and splayed legs.  This little hand-made country windsor has been well loved and used for many generations as evidenced by the wear and patina on the little exposed wood and by the paint history which includes white, red and a couple of coats of brown. The unusual child's windsor was probably made in Kentucky and dates to approximately 1870-1880.  14 3/4" high x 12 1/2" wide.
