Exquisite Early Folk Art Wooden Butterfly Corner Shelf Hand Carved/ Painted

Posted on April 14, 2018 by admin

Up for sale is this phenomenal example of early hand painted figural folk art in the form of a dramatic multicolor butterfly. This piece is composed of multiple types of hand paint woods fashioned in the form of a corner shelf with a delicately hewn center tapering at each end, scalloped carved edges on the wings of the butterfly, and hand carved zig zag pattern wood on the edge of the shelf. The wood is then hand painted with a variety of colors including orange, red, white, yellow, burgundy, and green which create a beautiful composition that at times references naturalism in the form of flowers and vines and at times enters the realms of abstraction as can be seen in the swirling lines of the lower wings resembling paintings by Morris Lewis, and the chevrons of the center body which mimic the chevron patterns of the shelf edge. This is a truly incredible piece of early folk art, all hand made and hand painted, measuring just shy of 23 in total height and with a shelf that extends out approximately 5. This piece is in lovely condition with a surface that shows its age and history without being overtly or unflatteringly worn or damaged. There is some minor paint splatter on the shelf, which could be cleaned professionally if you so choose and there is a small chip pictured along one of the scallops of the upper wing.

Posted on March 30, 2018 by admin

AAFA EARLY ANTIQUE FOLK ART ORIGINAL BLUE PAINTED WOOD PANTRY BOX. Up for sale is this beautiful 19th Century Early pantry box. We love the old Early paint and great patina on this little pantry box. It’s round and has a round lid. The top has a few small pieces of wood missing on the lid as you can see in the pictures. There is also a split on the inside where the band comes together as shown in the photos – not hard to fix. There is also edge wear/paint loss around the whole pantry box where the lid sits. It should look like this if it is original! The color is a polychrome blue, more of a vibrant blue. This was a hard paint/color to get right in the pictures. It is not purple or dark blue – more vibrant. The banding is square-ended and has little round-headed nails in it as well as into the side of the pantry box at the seam. It has some age and wear, wood loss, paint loss, dents, and scratches but is still solid. It measures 10.25″ in diameter at the lid and about 5.125″ high with the lid on. It weighs about 1.5 lbs.

Antique Folk Art, Early American (1837) Still Life Painting

Posted on March 12, 2018 by admin

Early 19th Century Oil Painting. Early Americana Folk Art Oil; depicting Fruit, Water Melon, Basket, Copper Milk Churn, and cut of Meat. The painting is very clean with a varnish developed with the National Gallery of Art for the protection of antique paintings. Painting would have been painted between 1820 and late 1830. Basket style is synonymous with that period and an infrared photo shows a date of 1837 written under paint layer (see black and white photo attached). Paint is very stable with a couple of very minor losses which do not effect the work, painting was relined at some point in the 19th century with new stretcher bars. Wonderful example of a highly sought after early American folk art style.
