Gloria N. Greenwald Antiques & Folk Art
We have been dealing in early 18th & 19th century country antiques and folk art since 1989. The major Americana antique shows of the Northeast were a focus for many years. Having retired from the show circuit in 2006, we now concentrate on selling privately and online. We deal primarily in country smalls including painted boxes and bowls, lighting, iron and tinware, and baskets. We look for makers who understood form and function, even when handcrafting rather primitive objects. Our preference is for pieces that please the eye AND perform a function.
Excellent 18th C. Example of A Pilgrim Era Lamp,
This Pilgrim Period 4-Spout Grease light has uncommon features. There is a hand etched design on the side hanging supports. Each link making up the chain is twisted for strength and decoration. Lastly, the spike/hanger is in the historical form of the well known halberd hook. This lighting piece maybe hung or sited on a flat surface. The crusie lamps were commonly used in colonial New England. 3 3/4" square c lengthy 17" in length. We offer a layaway plan.

An Antique Small Pantry Box with Sewing Treasures
This small 5 1/2" pantry box is filled with sewing treasures. I believe this small pantry box was original painted in this color to become this personal sewing box. It was common for these sewing boxes to be transportable. Of course it also protected the delicate pieces. The wooden thread spool, seen in the photo is a Belding Corticelli brand, which was made in Belding, Michigan. They opened in 1885 and closed in 1932. Wooden thread spools were last seen in 1932. The little box is very sturdy, it has some very early age cracks which are tight. A little country treasure. We offer a layaway plan.

A 1840-1860 Period Candle Snuff
This 1840 period candle snuff is in excellent condition. A very early example with a darken patina that only comes from age. Observing it closely one can see how it was uniquely crafted. Features supporting the age is the very darken patina, the 1/2" diameter of the finger ring, and its overall size of 2 3/4" h x 7/8th diameter. The ball finial is also a special feature. Giving it loft and balance. Rarer designs with unique features command higher prices.

19th c., Make-do Tiger Maple Bread Board
This early board moved down from generation to generation. It is tiger maple wood, a very hard wood. Over time, with repeated use, wooden bread boards develop a patina. As flour and dough were worked on the surface, they became embedded in the wood grain, creating a whitish appearance. The board has an early make-do repair which made it very tight and strong. It remained in use on both sides as the embedded flour confirms. A small piece is missing off the shoulder near the handle. It is 19" h x 9 1/2 x a mere 1/8" thick. An outstanding early country piece with a beautiful patina.
