Shaker Document Box
Mount Lebanon, NY | c. 1860
Pine with brass and paper
Original stain and varnish surface
5 ⅜” h. x 11 ⅝” w. x 7 ¾” d.
Provenance: Robert & Hazel Belfit, Watertown, CT
A dovetailed, lift-lid document box with original brass hardware and paper lining. In a very fine state of preservation.
Condition note: the number “99” in black Sharpie marker was written in the 1980s by Robert “Bob” Belfit Jr. as part of an inventory of his parents’ collection. Though this may be considered a misstep today, Bob’s efforts preserved much of the information related to the provenance of the Robert & Hazel Belfit Shaker Collection and we are indebted to his work.
