Chrome Yellow Shaker Oval Storage Box – SOLD
New Hampshire Bishopric | c. 1860
Maple, pine, and copper
Original painted surface
3 ⅛“ h. x 8 ¼” w. x 5 ½” d.
Provenance: Watt & Jan White, Stamford, CT
An outstanding Shaker Oval Storage Box in its original opaque chrome-yellow paint, with three symmetrically cut and spaced lappers on the base and a single lapper on the lid. Fixed with neat rows of copper rivets and brads, the elongated lappers are in near-perfect alignment with the swallowtail on the lid venturing out slightly to the right of those on the base.
The desirable chrome-yellow surface is undisturbed and in an excellent state of preservation. A pencil inscription on the underside of the base reads “85¢.”
Among the many fine boxes of the Watt & Janet White Collection, this is an exceptional example.
