About the Item
ENGLISH GRAIN-PAINTED CHEST OF DRAWERS WITH ORIGINAL WOODEN KNOBS
Circa 1850
39 7/8" H x 18 1/2" D x 35 5/8" W
A richly patinated grain-painted pine chest of drawers from the middle of the 19th century, this useful but also most striking case piece features a pair of drawers over three graduated drawers. Each is fitted with unusually bold turned wood knobs that have become silky and soft from nearly two hundred years of gentle handling. The drawers are all hand-dovetailed in the typical manner and feature a spotted ochre finish framed in applied moldings. The frame of the case is painted in a loose simulation of mahogany with vibrant flame-like grains moving through the boards. The entire case is raised over simple turned oblate spheroid bun feet.
Condition: Missing all but two backboards - these do not preclude the full active use of the chest and we can certainly have two boards fabricated upon request, though after extensive discussion we decided to keep it perfectly original rather than having replaced elements. Extensive wear and rubbing through the original grain-painted surface, more aggressively around the base moldings. Some shrinkage gaps, notable around the top moldings. No key.

American Grain-Painted Corner Cabinet Cupboard, New England, circa 1805
Located in Shippensburg, PA
A VERY FINE AMERICAN GRAIN-PAINTED ONE-PIECE CORNER CUPBOARD
New England, circa 1805
Item # 305PXF05C
An incredibly fine one-piece corner cupboard formerly acquired at Sotheby's in 2013 for $ 15,000. The original and beautifully worn surface is incredibly lively with a rich texture in the symmetrical brush strokes with the natural rubbing through the paint from over two-hundred years of gentle handling. It is crafted in one piece from pine primary woods and poplar secondary woods and features a nine-light glazed upper door with beautifully molded astragals that opens with a replaced brass knob to reveal an interior divided with two fixed shelves. The lower portion of the cabinet is missing its knob and opens to reveal the single shelf that evenly divides out the space. And most attractive is the size, which is delightfully diminutive and allows it to be a part of any space without overwhelming the interior. An untouched treasure.
