Antique 19thC NEW ENGLAND PANTRY BOX CELERY-GREEN PAINT AAFA Folk Art Primitive
Description

Recently brought home from New Hampshire: One of the best pantry boxes I\'ve handled as far as surface and form go (and size to boot). It\'s approx 8\"W across the top (by)5.75\"H. Early 19th century, no later than 1840. Original color was probably yellow or white which oxidized to a wonderful and unusualcelery-heart-green. Chunky, thick, swamped with patina. Long, slender fingers of opposing arrangement snug to the body with symetrically placed iron nails. Body with straight, nailed seam. Flared and chamfered handle, carved mushroom pegs. Top and bottom boards are nailed not pegged. Shaker-quality craftsmanship with said characteristics, it may be Hingham-made butcertainly New England origin (not signed). The handle in its down position resisted the elements which would redefine the surrounding surface over decades, when lifted you can see the yellow under it (see last pic). It must have sat undisturbed for a very long time. Thanksfor your interest and pleaseask any questions you may have.
