Painted Hanging Cupboard
Scale, proportions, color, and design
Pennsylvania
Circa 1810
The beaded case with applied moldings displays three sunken panels on each side and a single rectangular panel on the top. As depicted, a three over two-drawer over paneled door arrangement; door retains original escutcheon and brass pull. It is interesting that the top outside drawers were made to be used within a desks prospect compartment as is evidenced by the chisel notched finger holds on one side of each drawer secondary wood. The drawer fronts are scratch-molded. The lovely and original blue and green painted surface with terrific patina was expertly exposed by removing a layer of white over-paint.
(Height: 29.5 inches; width: 18.75 inches; depth: 8.5 inches.)

Ladder-Back Rocking Chair
With hoopskirt arms
American
Circa 1780-1820
A nice example of the sometimes called nursing or work chair.
Tall urn finials adorn the rear posts centering four shaped and molded spats; rear posts and front legs joined by nicely turned box stretcher then raised on original rockers. The short arms are notable as they flare outward ending with large round handholds with spur like returns; turned arm supports are attached to seat rail by iron straps and taper as they continue to side stretchers which they pierce. The chair is in very old, probably early Victorian black paint with gold trim over what appears to be an original red pigment; ancient ash-splint seat. There is the addition of an early iron support on the proper right arm where it pierces the post. The iron mending strap conforms to half the post with a long tang securing the arm.
