Art Antiques Michigan
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/. Some of you may know me from there. I hope to bring to my Dig site the same quality country, primitive antiques as I offer on my website, at reasonable prices. I will update my Dig site every month between the 15th. and 17th. of each month. You will find fresh to market items at that time. My preferred method of payment is by check. Made payable to Joanne Getz. I offer a lay a way plan to help you with your purchases. Michigan residents add 6% Sales Tax. I do hope you will stop by often. I can be reached nearly anytime at joannemargetz@gmail.com or call me 9894281009.

Ochre/Tan Painted Pantry Box
This is a very fine looking, c. 1850 round pantry box with original grain painted decoration in Mustard paint. This is possibly a Lancaster Co., Pa. piece as this style of grain painting is found on many utilitarian items from this area–e.g. buckets, firkins, salt boxes. All nails and pegs are present, and the paint is in excellent condition. The bottom has two exposed nails, but it is still tight. The lid fits snugly and has a few small rubs. It measures 9 1/2″ diameter and 5″ tall. It would be a stunning addition to a stack, but it is a great piece in its own right. The lid is original. I think the sides of the lid were just rubbed with white paint while the top of the lid was grain painted. This has been part of a CT collection.
