Rare 19th C Document Box In The Best Old Original Folk Art Painted Decoration
RARE 19TH C DOCUMENT BOX IN THE BEST OLD ORIGINAL FOLK ART PAINTED DECORATION. AN EXTREMELY FINE AND EARLY 19TH CENTURY FOLK ART DECORATED DOCUMENT BOX IN WONDERFUL RED, ORANGE, WHITE, BLACK AND BLUE DECORATION OVER THE ORIGINAL WINDSOR GREEN BASE COAT. EXTRAORDINARY EARLY PAINT DECORATIONS. THIS BOX HAS A FLAT TOP AND IS MADE OF EARLY NAILED CONSTRUCTION. IT STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL IRON HINGES. THE INTERIOR HAS REMNANTS OF A 1868 NEWSPAPER FROM QUEBEC CANADA WHICH WAS USED TO SELL THE BOX AS CANADIAN… THE PAINT IS ALL ORIGINAL. IT IS GRUNGY AND WELL DONE. THE TOP HAS THE USUAL PAINT WEAR FROM MUCH USE BUT THE REST IS IN EXTREMELY FINE CONDITION, (see photos). IT HAS A VERY RARE FOLK ART INVERTED HEART DECORATION THROUGHOUT. THE PAINT IS WELL OXIDIZED but STILL BRIGHT. This BOX is “Untouched”. THIS BOX IS MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON. THE PAINT IS SPECTACULAR. The box is 14 1/2″ wide, 8″ deep and 8 1/4 tall. It exhibits only the typical wear and tear you would see from 200 years of use as I have shown in the photos. A truly great find especially in such fine condition and surface, usually these are in poor shape and have been stripped of all their paint and patina. Minor paint loss as seen.
