Antique 19thC FOLK ART BOX BLACK PAINT AAFA Document/ Pantry/ Candle/ Primitive
Antique 19thC FOLK ART BOX BLACK PAINT AAFA Document/ Pantry/ Candle/ Primitive. Folky mid 19th century homemade box in dry black paint. Applied wood strips continue on all walls of the box as well as rondelle and conical brass tack decoration. Strike plate removed at some point, likely when the key was lost (see pic 18). Some errant paint on lid in red and green, looks period and may be a clue to what the box was used for dried sealing wax? Back edge of lid broke off long ago. I’m not one who believes damage “adds character” in all cases but at least its old loss that had time to patinate and is not glaring (see pic 7). Great condition over all with scattered paint loss, surface wear. Approx 10.75″L x 6.75″W x 5 tall. See pics for additional details and any questions please ask.
