Late 18th, Early 19th Century Heart Formed Skewer Set

One of the finest examples of a early skewer holder I\'ve ever had the pleasure of offering, fresh out of a Pennsylvania estate.

As one can see the formation of the holder is a large heart shape, complete with traces of original red paint on one side.

Please click on the photographs to see details of the piece.

The black smith who made this piece was without questions a talented early artisan who choose to incorporate a popular design element into a functional hearth tool.

In addition to the fine overall form, the smith choose to emphasize the design by using 16punch work hole decorations to form an additionalinner heart design.

Similar forms can be seen referenced in "Furniture Treasury: Also American Hardware and Household Utensils" by Wallace Nutting

The piece was found with five skewers, each with delicately formed in hanging loops with \'pig tail\' ends.

The holder itself measures a large 8 1/4" x 7 3/4".

Skewers range is size from 7" to 8".

There is some pitting to the piece, as to be expected from age, there is also some hanging wear from the top loop, several skewers have some blunt tips, overall still in very good/very good+ condition for its age.

This piece truly needs to be held in ones hand to fully appreciate its beauty. The pictures just don\'t capture the truly fine quality and size!

A truly wonderful piece of early American folk art, an excellent addition to any period iron collection, or accent to any country home.

The sale is being run for only 5 days, .

I will provide free (domestic) insured priority shipping to the winning buyer.
