Sturdy Antique 8" Diameter Pantry Box Tri Color Folk Art Paint
This is an 8" pantry box with very unusual tri color
paint with a folk art look. The underneath paint is mustard with red and green
marbelized over that. The top is similar but a little different with some marbalizing
and some blotches. There is a small amount of the red and green on
the outside band on the top section. While the coloring is all similar, I do not know if the
lid and base have always been together. The inside of the pantry box is also
painted and the bottom on the outside. The top is rough with splits
in the band, obviously damaged and repaired. There are a few
gouges in the top. The lower section was made by stitching it together with thread instead of
nails. This is rather unusual. The lower section is very sturdy but has
a split across the bottom and also has a few gouges on the
top. This has had a long hard life. Two of my pictures
show the chips in the top. The diameter on the
top is 8", and on the bottom section 7 3/4". It is 3 1/4" tall. This would
date somewhere in the late 1800s, maybe earlier.
I took several pictures of the sides as the paint changes all the way
around. Also there are 2 pictures showing the stitches.
I have 3 other boxes that I am selling on eBay at this time. All 4,
including this one, stack nicely. I am showing a picture of the group, but
only the one described and photographed separately are for sale with this
auction.
