Lg. 17 1/2" L.19th C. PA. Tulip Design Band Box

For sale is a wonderful antique 19th century folk art band box that I acquired a few years ago in Ohio, but that I'm fairly certain was made in Pennsylvania. It has a wonderful painted tulip design, and the sides are attached with thin strips of wood. It was also constructed with tiny pegs, as well as nails added over the years. The box measures about 17 1/2" long, 8 1/2" wide, and 5 7/8" tall. It is in nice, but antique condition, with craquelure on the tulips, age and use related wear, but it displays very well. There is a tight crack across the top of the lid, but it is very straight, so I don't know for sure if the lid was made in 2 pieces or if it actually is a crack. There is also an area on the lid where some wood is missing, but it happened long ago. Please look carefully at the pictures, and contact me with any questions or for additional photos.

For sale is a wonderful antique Pennsylvania Lancaster County folk art bird fraktur bookplate. I acquired it from a dealer of folk art in Robesonia, Pennsylvania. It is dated "January the 9,1837" and signed "Wm. Schools His Book". The bird is yellow with orange wings and a blue ring around its neck. The piece is housed in a wonderful and appropriate painted frame, although it is fairly recent, and there is information on the back indicating who framed it. The framed piece measures about 9 3/4" x 7 7/8" with sight measurements of 6 1/4" x 4 3/8". The bookplate itself is about 5" x 3 1/2", and is in nice but antique condition, with overall toning and a few water spots and other minor imperfections, but it displays very well. In addition, the information on the back indicates that it has been framed with museum quality glass that has 99% UV protection. There is also what appears to be some kind of hand written inventory number on the top right. Please look carefully at the pictures, and contact me with any questions or for additional photos.

Dtd.1806 Sgnd. Sampler w/ Poem, Birds, Flowers++

For sale is a wonderful antique sampler that I acquired from a sale in Pennsylvania, although I think that it might be English, as there is what looks like a crown at the bottom. I believe the sampler is done in silk thread on homespun linen. The piece is signed "Mary Gribbens's Sampler made in 1806", and there is a poem at the top that says "May I with innocence & peace, My fleeting moments spend, And when the tolls of life shall case (cease), With calmness meet my end." Elements of the design include birds, several types of flowers, trees, and what I think are sheep that are each inside a box at the bottom. It has a floral vine border, and is housed in a fairly modern black painted frame that makes a nice presentation. The framed sampler measures about 19 3/4" x 17 3/4" with sight measurements of 16 1/4" x 14 1/4".

Antique Scandinavian Folk Art Tine Box w/Bird

For sale is a fabulous antique Scandinavian folk art tine box that I acquired from a collection in Missouri. It has a terrific very stylized painted bird on a branch on the lid, and there are leaves and flowers around the perimeter. A fairly simple palette was used, and colors include black, white, yellow, grayish green, and blue. The box is constructed in the traditional way, with thin wooden strips used to hold both the box and lid together, as well as wooden pegs. The piece measures about 15 3/8" long, 9 1/2" wide, and 6 3/8" tall. It is in nice antique condition, with nice signs of age, including even wear where the lid was taken on and off, and a few missing pegs. It should also be noted that it has been reinforced with a few later nails, but the box is very solid. Please look carefully at the pictures, and contact me with any questions, or for additional photos.

19th C. Folk Art Scissor Cut Valentine w/Writing

For sale is a very endearing 19th century scissor cut valentine or love token that has been in my collection for a few years. It is rather naively done, with the main design being a circle of hearts with writing in sepia ink. It is in English, but much of it is rather hard to decipher, but 2 of the hearts say "This is a heart", and the center says "Here I goe around the ring that has no end". The piece has been placed on a black background, and housed in an appropriate, but fairly modern gold frame. The framed valentine measures about 14 1/4" x 13 1/2", with sight measurements of 12" x 11 1/4", and the piece itself measuring about 7 1/2" in diameter. It is in nice antique condition, with some toning, mainly around the folds, a few light spots, but no really significant flaws.

19th C. PA. Folk Art Bandbox w/Tulip Design

For sale is a wonderful antique 19th century folk art pantry/bandbox that I found in Ohio, but that was made in Pennsylvania. It is constructed with splints and wooden pegs. On both the lid and sides, there is a very stereotypical PA. Dutch style design of red tulips with yellow centers, and almost comma shaped leaves on the lid. The box measures about 17 1/2" long, 8 1/2" wide, and 5 3/4" tall, and is in nice but antique condition, with a dark aged patina, an area of missing wood on the top, as well as expected wear around the edges on both the lid and box. There is what looks like a crack on the lid, but I believe that 2 pieces of wood were used in its construction, as when you look on the inside, the line is very straight, and the grain doesn't quite match. In addition, there have been a few areas where nails have been added for reinforcement. Please look carefully at the pictures, and contact me with any questions.
