About the Item

A painted green folk art shelf. Incredible scalloped sides and "surface"-the folk art language referring to the wear and patina a great piece of history holds that signifies the actual utility and age wear we look for to verify authenticity. This piece would have been made by hand, by a family member to tuck into a small space, from salvaged materials and painted a cheery color to enliven that space. The care and decorative quality resultant from the creation of this piece is what makes it a one-of-a-kind treasure. It bears the hallmarks of the most desirable type of Folk Art (yes, capital "F" and capital "A") a category of American historical collectible that has risen in popularity and value over the past several decades. 9.5"W x 9.5"D x 48"H 13.38"W across front Measurement of bottom shelf (and vertical storage space) 12.25”W x 7”D x 10"H Measurement of 2nd shelf from bottom 10”W x 5.25”D x 10”H Measurement of 3rd shelf from bottom 8.25"W x 4.38”D x 7.5”H Measurement of 4rd shelf from bottom 6.58"W x 3.38”D x 8.25”H Measurement of top shelf 5"W x 2.58"D x 3.88”H
