Antique Primitive PA Dutch German Folk Art Paint Wood+Iron Sleigh Sled Estate
WELCOME TO THE STRANGEST THING… STUNNING Antique CIRCA 1880 Primitive PA Dutch Folk Art Painted Wood+Iron Sleigh Sled from Historic Estate. Really nice sled with NO Rot and is clean and tight. It is probably a tow behind sled for a farmer to pull his children/packages/items behind him in the snow. It is Sturdy and over 4 ft long (52) by 2 ft wide. Fantastic Patina to the original paint which is NOT flaking off or powdery. Wood is in overall great shape with some small losses here and there from age and use. I found this amazing sled in my barn on what was known as the SCHMIDT (later Smith) house in Monroe County (Kunkletown) PA. The site of the homes and Barn on this propery once held a Major Moravian mission for the Megolam in the mid 1700’s. THe homes and the Barn were constructed Between Circa 1790 to 1820. Project is coming along great. The main home is about 75% complete. The 2nd home (which used to be the summer kitchen seen in the OLD landsape pic) is structrally sound but a mess. Needs pretty much everything. The Barn—-Well—- It is a 200+ year old barn that has seen many years of Barn use. Anyway, this is an incredible piece worthy of a PA Dutch/Historic PA/Historic Northeast Museum and/or collection. BTW, That is the Sled sitting on the porch in the 1st image. The Old image of the house with the people are the 2nd Generation Smith’s. We discover more each week as we get to know the neighbors and the books of the area they have loaned us.
