Sweet sampler, framed under glass, (possibly American) worked using wool threads on a linen or linen blend ground. Stitches are comprised of a variety of cross, eyelet and a back pulled stem stitch.

Crown located in the second row represents the crown of God and not necessarily the king of England. One portion just above the letter “L” in the word sampler reflects a pale lilac hue on the linen otherwise in good condition.

A quintessential peek into an earlier time where women gather inside a period home to create a beautiful textile that will find its place on the bed come winter. Refreshments are served and “dishing the dirt” spoken in soft voices seem to hold everyone’s attention. This oil painting has a naïve quality brought forth by the artist and is signed. However the signature is illegible (lower right corner). Overall good condition and most likely dates to the early 20th century. Some expected crazing along with minor paint loss that reveals the underlying canvas. Mounted in a deep canted frame and one area (upper top right) shows some minor wood loss.

Intricately carved Cookie Mold showing a warm surface lending delightful color variations. Exact age is unknown. However the edges and corners are smooth and lend a gentle curved appearance. The backside was probably used as a cutting board as chop marks are present. Wood chosen is also unknown but smooth to the touch and warrants a piece not contributed to American origin.

Minor chips are present on the edges as well as surface scratches on the front. Four tiny holes present on left edge. A mystery letter and numbers appear on the back and bottom location. These numbers may relate to a recorded / catalogued item possibly used in a museum?

Late 18th to early 19th century hanging wall box with a “make-do” repair showing the best patina is really a special piece. A mix of forged nails contest to the early date. Nice simple form showing a gentle curved back. Bottom has been replaced at one point as the wood does not match the existing sides, back and front.

This delightful painting was found in a circa “1755” Pennsylvania stone farmhouse located on 134 bucolic acres in Bucks County. I was able to acquire two of these paintings signed by the artist “Ross”. The artist captured a beautiful farm house lending Pennsylvania flavor flanked by trees with blue skies overhead. The style lends whispers of a naïve folk art composition interpreted by the artist using brush strokes of whimsy. This painting just explodes with happiness and delight as the birds are taking flight in the sky while the trees seem to be thriving because of the springtime weather. There is some paint loss located on the upper right hand corner with further (minimal) loss sprinkled in the middle of the large majestic tree. Age of the painting is unknown and frame may be a later addition. I tried to research this artist but hit a dead end. Apparently, there was an artist studio on this farm but the owner’s name does not coincide with the artist. The frame is in good condition without any chips or cracks to report. I hope this painting speaks to you! Overall height including the frame measures 12” tall, measures 17” across and is 1” deep. More pictures available!

Late 19th to early 20th century spice cabinet is one of the best examples I have come across boasting delicious patina and great form! The two later knob additions constitute a “make-do” situation that is a charming feature by lending further character to this interesting piece. There are traces of apple green paint limited to the left hand side while the rest of the piece exhibits a warm surface. A tight crack on the left side panel near the bottom travels up to the top location. A piece of wood was joined pertaining to the right side panel near the top to possibly remedy a break that also affected the inside drawer compartment. This is a heavy piece constructed using tiny round head nails. A couple of the wooden knobs show a single chip referring to the “Pepper” and “Cinnamon” drawers. Two of the drawers have replacement bottoms along with others experiencing a couple chips and cracks. Shows well and makes for a great display.

Beautiful stylized mid-19th century Powder Horn having an inscribed design showing a “cabin in the woods”. This bucolic scene boasting folk art trees wraps around the throat and appears at different levels. A brass hand cut heart delights us located on the top wooden cover and shows tiny nails used to secure it. The decorative tacks on the collar lend even more detail. A copper loop was attached to accommodate the cord hanger (that apparently was found on Southern outfits). This was probably a right hand carry piece fashioned from cow horn. Instead of having a carved feature referring to the design elements, it appears the maker decided to draw the scene instead. The base plug is missing. There are a couple of inconspicuous cracks located at the edge of the collar as well as a tiny piece of metal that protrudes the horn surface. A recessed band wrapped with some unknown fiber can be found near the bottom. Great piece of folk art that awaits a cozy mantle! It is of the smaller variety measuring 6 ¾” tall, measures 2 ¼” across the top, measures 2 ½” deep, measures 1 ½” across the middle section and the bottom opening measures ¼”. More Pictures available.

This sweet old bottle doll was found in Virginia and measures just about 15" tall and stands on a 3 1/2" bottle base which is covered in black fabric and has a plaid petticoat ruffle along the bottom. Her dress is a brown silk and she has a white pinafore/apron pinned to her front. The head and arms are made of a dark brown stocking type fabric. Arms move up and down slightly. She has a little pinched nose, button eyes, a stitched mouth, and what looks like yarn or thread hair. She is further embellished with little drop earrings. There is a 3 1/2" seam separation to the bottom of her dress as seen in our photo. What a charming girl she is and definitely an old one! Contact Judy. Thank You! Free Shipping
