Brown Spotted, Red Painted Lidded Chest.
A very nice mid 19th. century medium size lidded box. The chest measures 31″ long and 11 1/2″ high. It is 13 1/2″ deep. The Paint is just wonderful, and original. When I purchased the box it had “make do” Leather hinges that were likely old replacements from the original hinges. In my opinion I felt the leather hinges were very poorly done so I replaced them with 5″ strap hinges. When you look at the photos of the back of the box you can see how the leather hinges were applied. I believe the new hinges work better. The lid is stable and opens and closes easily. The box is made of Pine Wood. There are Remnants of the lock. This piece was found in a local Rhinebeck, NY estate. Would date it early 19th century. The paint is wonderful, Brown, large dots on a Red base paint. Very clean inside, could be used for storage. No odor. Price: sold
