Three Pieces...
New England Painted Paneling
Eighteenth Century
White pine
As depicted, each panel in ancient oyster-white paint that appears to be over a soft blue paint that was very popular during the eighteenth century. The only traces of blue are in areas originally under muntins that are now exposed due to two-hundred years of shrinkage. It is possible that the original pigment was fugitive; the paint now changed by light and chemistry to that which is depicted.
Nonetheless, a thin layer of paint on nicely compartmentalized and molded sections that are perfect for decorating. 1) 83.5 x 47.5 inches; 2) 83.5 x 13 inches; 3) 51.5 x 22.5 inches.

An Outstanding Carving in wood
...a bell suspended from a knotted swag
Probably Northwestern Europe
Unknown, Circa 1825
A beautiful example of the carver's craft...the bell with relief foliate carving centering the shoulder's decorative belts above The bell appears to be dated 1825 though the "1" is carved in the form of a "J. The flaring curve is pronounced and terminates with the three-dimensional rim and the bulbous clapper. The crown with open eyes is suspended from draped swaging having graceful folds and adorned by fringe. The swags have traces of light blue paint, the numbers have some black paint remaining, and the bell and fringe show traces of gilding and sizing. There is a tight and stable crack in the swags, possibly following a joint; some chips at the rim of the bell as depicted. (Measures 33-inches high by 62-inches wide.) Hardwood.
