18th C 2 Drawer Stand - Super nice figured drawer fronts and outstanding turnings contribute to this piece's unique characteristics. Protected by more than a dozen decades of paint, the wonderful richness of the wood is finally portrayed. I believe this stand to be late 18th century, and European in origin. I am not an expert in fine furniture, but this is what my research has revealed. I have supplied several photos for you to inspect and decide for yourself. I believe everything is original except for the knobs. The shellac and wax finish is new. The drawer fronts are 1 1/8" thick solid quilted maple. The legs I believe are European cherry. The sides appear to be walnut. I cannot identify the top. The top was at one time nailed into the tops of the legs. Two of the original hand cut screws remain.
Measures 27 1/2" tall x 20" wide x 17 1/2" deep.

Price: $899

Probably has been cut down a long time ago. Knobs and latches replaced. 3 shelves on top, 2 on the bottom. Great for a kitchen pantry. 4 board back. Square nailed.
Measures: 62" tall x 46" wide x 17" deep

Early 19th C. Flatback Cupboard - In old blue, with a mustard over blue interior, what a find! This is a Primitive Lover's delight. A very early piece, circa 1820, this has been scraped down to reveal the wonderful blues that it originally adorned. The barn red on the left side remains, as there is no original paint under it. The drawers are constructed with fine dovetails both front and rear. The bottom doors (top ones are missing) are simple 1 board plank doors. Original molding on the top is retained. Nice cutouts on the bottom. As could be expected with an old cupboard of this type, some wear and losses are found on the bottom edges. To keep it standing flat, a supporting structure has been added underneath. This is not visible from the front and it could be easily removed, if so desired. Old repairs are found here and there, as expected. Some newer nails added over the years. A great display and storage piece in old blue. Hard to find!
Measures 79" tall x 43" wide x 14" deep.

Price: $3899

 

 

Old Blue Bucket Bench - Sort of... Not real old and not quite "right" but still kind of a fun and funky piece. We had it in our home for 5 years to show off some of our stoneware collection. I like the cutouts, the color, and the great wear on the door. Probably 1920 ish.

19th C Folky Jelly Cupboard - This wonderful folky jelly cupboard in several layers of old paint just stands out and makes a statement! It is painted in what appears to be originally a brown milk paint followed by a blue milk paint (This is when backsplash was added). Later, but still several decades ago the white was added, followed by the red, and finally the blue. All paint has good age on it as can be seen in the photos. The doors have double chamfered panels and are pegged at the joints. The knob on the right door appears original however the latch connected to this knob is not. The knobs on the drawers are a close match, but not the original ones. The super large backsplash was added later, and was not original to the piece at it's creation, but what a great addition it was! Minor losses here and there as well as the bottom corners but still solid and strong. Square nailed with some round nails added later.
Measures 42 tall x 44" wide x 18" deep. Backsplash is 15" tall.

Price: $1175
