Up for your consideration is one of my favorites of all time. This little miniature painted chest is just the sweetest little primitive thing ever. Original snipe hinges this six board chest i believe is yellow pine but not sure so look at the photos you may be able to tell. It has the boot jack sides and red ground with vibrant black decoration. This chest is signed inside the top to a little girl. It reads: for my sweet Sarah McInturff Carter County Tennessee 1807. Carter County is in the far east corner of Tennessee close to the Virginia, North Carolina Border. Tennessee was made a state in 1796. This is so early and special.. Painted pieces are very rare here in the south anyone who collects southern antiques and folk art will know what a real little treasure this is. It has the most wonderful surface and has been kept well because those snipe hinges break easily and they are intact. I have to downsize so in the next few weeks I will be posting some great pieces of folk art and antiques, check out my other auctions and check back next week.
