I have been an avid collector of country, primitive antiques for about 50 years. During those years I have collected, sold, collected, sold---you know how that goes. I was a single owner antique shop for many years. With the onset of the internet my selling venue has changed. I now have a website https://artantiquesmichigan.com/.

19th. c. Blue Painted Slide Lid Candle Box
An extremely nice, small sized, slide lid candle box. This little box has several very nice features. One is the original Blue painted surface. It does show wear, but the wear is appropriate for the age and use of the box. The construction is dovetailed, the lid is nicely stylized. What I believe to be an unusual feature of this box is the sharply chamfered bottom panel. The size is certainly another attractive feature, it measures only 9 1/4 x 4 x 5 1/4 inches. Excellent condition. American, circa mid to late 19th. century.

American Adjustable Candle Light
A most unusual and wonderful early American candle light. This light is circa 18th. century–it has a wonderful slab base (no tipping over here), double candle light that is adjustable and can be used as a floor light or table light. I believe the slab base is Chestnut wood, very heavy with great surface. The lights slide up and down on between the two verticle rods. In the shortest position the light measures about 22 inches. At its tallest position it measures about 40 inches and is secure. If you choose to use a height between the shortest and tallest a wedge is necessary to hold the position. The wedge is not necessary at the tallest or lowest heights. The slab base measures 11 1/2 x 12 1/2 x 3 inches. This is a gorgeous light with so much character.
