About the Item
Peter Hunt, 1896-1967 was an American artist whose work was described as Folk Art. He lived many years on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. He gained recognition for his art in the 1940s and 1950s when his decorated, refinished furniture was featured in Life Magazine, House Beautiful, and Mademoiselle. He painted old furniture, household items, and fabrics, decorating them with colorful peasant designs, reminiscent of Pennsylvania Dutch and French Provincial folk art. Hearts, flowers, fruits, birds, angels adorned hutches, cabinets, dressers, tables, chairs, wooden trays, and metalware. Hunt's clients were rich and influential. Among them were Boston socialite Frances Brown Merkel and New York cosmetics giant Helena Rubinstein, both helped advance Peter Hunt's name and reputation.
Peter Hunt designed the "Cape Cod Room" restaurant of Chicago's Drake Hotel in 1935, bringing Cape Cod artifacts and painting murals of the sea.
This bar cabinet is decorated with four high-relief bottles on the four doors.
The cabinet is painted in a rich green with red and yellow hearts, flowers and other decorations. A chance to own a unique piece of art and Americana.
