Pine Trunk or Blanket Chest in Original Decorative Paint
About the Item
This Folk Art painted trunk has the form of a faux mule chest, pretending to have drawers with ceramic knobs, when, in fact, the lid opens on two very long iron strap hinges to a deep storage well. In the upper left is a candle box, the hinged lid of which has a deep carved reed in the center. The reeded carving is repeated on the base and capital on the front corners, where they anchor a hardwood split baluster. On the side, barely perceptible, is a painted outlined panel containing two swirls of stylized grain paint. Each side has an iron bail handle, set low in the panel. The top and front have a dark green/black background. On the front is a burst of flowers and leaves in subdued autumn colors. Browns and yellows and rusty reds. The top “drawer” bears a baroque-style pressed brass escutcheon. On the top it looks like Spring has arrived, with white and red and orange, flowers and seed-pods abound!
As is usual, the back is hand-planed and unpainted and exposes the hand-cut dovetails on the back corners.

- Pine Storage Bench or Settle in Original Decorative PaintLocated in Baltimore, MDWhat an amazing bench! In line and form it is very much like other Central European storage benches we offer, albeit a very fine example. It has straight back rails enclosing three flat panels. The legs are straight and the integral arms are only slightly scrolled and enclose another flat panel. The seat lifts to reveal a deep storage well, divided into two compartments. But the original finish is outstanding. The background is a deep oxblood on which black stripes are applied in such a pattern as to present as a stylized grain paint. Vertical here and horizontal there, laid straight or diagonally, or in arches. The five rectangular panels have the tromp l’oeil effect of being raised panels. These and the diamonds and “arrow heads” appear to be faux grain painted as a maple or some similar species. The overall effect is stunning and rare.
