About the Item
Beautifully hand-crafted and quietly sculptural, this 19th-century American Folk Art game board was made not in a factory, but by someone who clearly knew their way around a piece of wood. Sixty-four walnut and maple squares form the playing field, each carefully inlaid and bordered by a thin maple band. All of it is set into a single solid piece of walnut—an unusual and sophisticated construction—and then framed with applied walnut molding for added weight and presence. The surface is worn just enough to tell its story: a soft, rich patina from years of friendly competition and everyday use. A wire has been added to the back for hanging, making it just as compelling on the wall as it is laid flat for a game of chess or checkers. This is Folk Art in its truest form—functional, personal, and made with quiet skill that still resonates more than a century later.

Early 20th Century Southern American Folk Art Painting
Located in Chicago, IL
A captivating and intriguing early 20th century Southern American folk art panel, found in Mississippi, depicting a figure with what appears to be African tribal headgear, and wearing a white collared shirt with black suit jacket. The line work and attention to detail is extraordinary and mysterious, with the artist choosing to incorporate a natural knot in the board to form the mouth of the figure, and the left half of the drawing showing shading, but seemingly left unfinished. The frame is not terribly old, and is constructed from splatter-painted boards...
