Antique Accessories in Old Paint Original Surface Americana


18th C Unique Bowl with Repairs - One of a kind bowl with the greatest tin patches. Unique handles. Very early bowl, most likely 18th century or possibly early 19th century. The back shows the chisel marks but the inside is warn smooth all around. Patina is great and the wear is appropriate with the age. Splits have been repaired with a piece of metal some time ago, hard to tell exactly when. Great out of round form, just like you would expect. Very light weight, could be birch or pine. Measures 15 1/2" x 16 1/4" x 3 1/4" tall Price: $279

		19th C Hanging Candle Box- Early all original candle box in the original old attic surface. Never been painted! All square nailed. Love the wear on the elongated mounting hole. Note, this hole split out a very long time ago and has an old staple securely doing it's job (see photos). Measures 17" long X 7 1/2" wide X 6 1/2" deep Price: $275

19th C Wall Box- Great little hanging wall box in early paint. Has been scaped down to reveal original red and pewter paint. Appropriate wear. Bottom is loose, as some of the nails have rotted off. May have been used as a salt box. Great Primitive!!! Measures 5 3/4" deep x 7 1/2" wide x 13" tall Price: $249

	19th C. Wall Box - Circa 1850 in early original green paint. All square nailed. Nice patina in all the right places. Unfortunately, the hanging hole broke through. We use it now on the counter which makes for a nice recipe box. Measures: 9" wide x 8" deep x 9" high Price: $399

19th C Hanging Wall Box with Drawer - .What can I say? Where have you seen one of these before? This early primitive box could be as early as 18th century but I am not positive. Look at the early hinges which were nailed in place and cinched over on the inside. Look at the early hand made eustachian on the door. Only wish the lock was still there (they never are). The top shelf is narrower than the other shelf and both shelves are dadoed into the sides. The knob on the drawer is most likely a replacement. The early paint is wonderful, showing appropriate wear and patina. Red paint wearing through to red primer beneath. 20th century brackets have been added to hang this piece but the original holes in the back where it used to hang from are still there and could/should be used. This is the best hanging wall box we have had the pleasure of owning. Measures 11 1/4" wide" x 17" tall and is 6 1/4" deep. Price: SALE PENDING

		19th C Doubled Tiered Wall Box - Unusual hard to find early wall box with 2 compartments, probably originally used to store candles. All square nailed.

Early Painted Trencher - One of my best bowls I have ever put up for sale. Greatest red paint with wear in all the appropriate places. Super patina on the inside.

		19th C Penn Yan 3 Gal Churn - Outstanding double blue flower on this stoneware tabletop churn. Made and signed by J. Mantell from the Penn Yan N.Y. Pottery. Blue splashes on the handles.

Another faint spider hairline under the right handle. Measures 10" diameter X 13 1/4" tall. Dasher is 40 1/2" long. A note about Stoneware: It is not unusual to find 150 year old stoneware with minor dings and hairline cracks. Stoneware was not originally intended as elegant, expensive objects created strictly for beauty and display. They were utilitarian goods meant to be used, as well as admired. Minor chips, age lines and repairs do not detract from the overall value or beauty of these highly collectable pieces. For more info on Stoneware in Western NY, click here. Price: SOLD

Early Beehive Turned Bowl - Wonderful small ash bowl with very pronounced turnings (beehive) on both inside and outside. Retains some of the dry putty colored paint as shown.

"Shaker" Pantry Box - I am describing this as "Shaker" because this box has all the characteristics and design elements of a shaker box. Everything I know about Shaker boxes tells me this is Shaker. However it is not signed, so I can't be absolutely positive. The experts will know. If it truly is, then you know what it can be worth. I have photographed every possible detail and angle. You be the judge. I am offering this box at a reasonable price and will describe it, as usual, to the best of my ability. The surface is an original dark green paint. The bottom oak band is thick, measuring 3/16". The oak buttons extend about 1" into the box and have wooden splints securing them in place. The inside and outside edges of the box as well as the lid band have been feathered, as would have been done by the Shakers. The top band is shaped and chamfered like a swallow tail, also a tell tail sign of Shaker. The swing handle is shaped and chamfered as well, in the form of a Shaker handle. One may question whether there was additional nails added. The bottom band has 4 nails, 2 at the top and 2 at the bottom that are in addition to the nails that secure the band together. Judging by the shape of the nails as well as the oxidation of these nails on the inside (same as all the rest), I am of the opinion that these nails were used in the original construction of the box. Since this box is so thick, extra nails were required to secure the band. This is my opinion. The top band did have some work done to it and one extra nail is suspect. With this box being so old, the top had shrunk in one dimension which would leave a small gap and perhaps weaken the top. I can see where small strips had been put in place to take up this gap, thereby tightening up the top. This repair is well done and difficult to notice but I mention it in the sake of accuracy. This pantry box is by far the best I have ever offered for sale. Measures 11 1/2" in diameter x 7 1/2" tall. Price: SOLD

I am sure this was made for a special purpose, I just don't know what that was. There is some stenciling on the front that I can hardly read. I can definitely make out "440" at the top, "Oyster House", as well as "Troy, NY". All steel bands present. Very tight and stable. Iron handle and locking mechanism.
