Pennsylvania Or Ohio Dutch Cupboard In Cherry

About the Item

PENNSYLVANIA OR OHIO DUTCH CUPBOARD IN CHERRY, ON MILK BOTTLE FEET, WITH A STRONG, TOMATO RED WASH, BLUE PAINTED INTERIOR, AND INDLAID KNOBS, CA 1835: Solid cherry Dutch cupboard with a strong, Tomato red wash, made ca 1835. The two-piece case has three drawers over two doors on the bottom, resting on turned, milk bottle feet. On the top, two candle drawers flank either side of a pie shelf, under two six-light, glazed doors, crowned by a wide and beautifully sculpted cornice molding. The interior of the top retains its original blue paint and the surface is excellent throughout. The case and drawers are all hand-dovetailed and the secondary wood is poplar. The blind doors are of split, recessed panel design on the front with nice chamfering on the reverse. The sides are plank on the top and recessed paneled on the lower section. The solid cherry knobs have inlaid ivory or bone, which is an especially fine feature and contributes nicely to the overall appearance. The form is thoroughly Pennsylvania, but was taken to Ohio by migrating Pennsylvania Dutch. Those moving to the Southeastern corner are known for pleasing designs that rivaled those of the Pennsylvania cabinetmakers. This one was found in Ohio, but could be from either local. The simple, milk bottle feet are my favorite style for this type of rural cupboard. I find them visually superior to both applied bracket bases and bun feet. The style is beefy enough to complete the flow of the design without overwhelming it, and simple enough not to detract from the country form. While distinctly Germanic-American, the feet have a Shaker-like sensibility that is mirrored here in the split, recessed paneled doors, the plank drawer fronts, and the sculpted surround of the pie shelf. The wavy glass is always a plus to lovers of rural-made objects. All-in-all, this is an excellent representation of the step-back style with great color, construction, form, and surface. Condition: Minor expected wear throughout with a couple of minor age cracks that have no structural impact. The cupboard is very sturdy. There is a repair to a chip in the lower, left-hand corner of the right-side paneled door (re-glued the original piece). There is a repair at the extreme, bottom, front edge of the plank side of the top, adjacent to the candle drawer. There is professional repaint to this tiny area only (perhaps 3/4" x 3" along the edge of the plank). One of the panels of glass was replaced with an early pane.

Dauphin County Pennsylvania Paint Decorated Dower Chest Made for Madlen Nafzer

Located in York County, PA

Dauphin County, Pennsylvania Paint-Decorated Dower Chest, Made for Madlen Nafzer in 1808 This colorful Pennsylvania German dower chest, with pinwheels and tiny flowers on Robin's egg blue tombstone panels, set on a salmon ground, was found with the descendents of Madlen Nafzer of Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. Passed down through her family for several generations, the chest is accompanied by a softbound book that details the history of the Nafzer family. It tells the basic story of the woman for whom the chest was made in 1808; of how her family arrived on American soil and of their subsequent moves from Pennsylvania to Ohio to Indiana with the migrating Pennsylvania Dutch Community. Past its striking color and decoration, one of the most spectacular things about this particular chest is its untouched paint surface and early condition. While a lateral portion of the left, back foot is absent, broken and lost during the family's possession, the back of the foot is present and extremely stabile. This had been broken, presumably at the same time, but the original piece was kept and I personally doweled it back into place. I made no attempt to replace the missing side portion, so that the chest could be kept in this unspoiled form, a rare thing among surviving Pennsylvania Dower chests...
