For sale is an absolutely charming antique Victorian stumpwork pillow that I acquired in Nebraska. It is completed on black velvet, has the initials "CSR" in the center, and images include a red and white crested bird holding a cluster of strawberries, as well as a wonderful variety of flowers including tulips, bleeding heart, and more. The backing is a striped denim like fabric, and I think the pillow may have been put together awhile after the stumpwork was made, although the stumpwork is definitely antique. The pillow measures about 18" x 16 1/2" x 5", and is in very nice condition, with no really significant flaws , although there is a relatively small brown stain as well as a small repair on the back. Please look carefully at the pictures, and contact me with any questions, or for additional photos.

For sale is an antique show towel that I acquired in Pennsylvania some time back, and that I'm fairly certain was made there as well. I researched the name "Anna Histand", and found information indicating that she was born in Chester County, Pennsylvania in 1799, along with other information about her background, which I will include with the show towel. The main design is an embroidered bird tree with the date of 1814 above, and crowns in the top corners. When I saw the crowns, I thought the piece might be English, but after researching the name, I'm fairly confident that it is from Chester County. Other embroidered images include the initials "A H" flanking the bird tree, as well as flowers or something similar below the initials, and the name at the bottom, flanked by 8-point stars. In addition, small crocheted trees flank the date, and there is a crocheted panel that depict trees, I believe with fringe at the bottom. The show towel measures about 41" long and 13" wide, and is in superb condition, with no holes, rips, repairs, and just one small light stain on the top edge.

For sale is a terrific antique late 19th to early 20th century folk art painted dome top box that previously was in the collection of John B.

It has nice form, with an elongated heart cutout handle, hand dovetailing and hand cut nail construction, but is unusual because the corners on one side are not the same as on the others. I am unsure if it was made that way, or that the corners on one side broke off sometime long ago, because the patina is the same throughout the box.

The piece measures about 4 1/2" in diameter on top, 3 1/4" in diameter on the bottom, and 3" tall, and is in nice, but antique condition, with a wonderfully aged patina, lots of crazing on the paint, rust, and some minor dings/dents on the bottom but no holes.

For sale is a wonderful antique 19th century folk art pantry/bandbox that I found in Ohio, but that was made in Pennsylvania. It is constructed with splints and wooden pegs. On both the lid and sides, there is a very stereotypical PA. Dutch style design of red tulips with yellow centers, and almost comma shaped leaves on the lid. The box measures about 17 1/2" long, 8 1/2" wide, and 5 3/4" tall, and is in nice but antique condition, with a dark aged patina, an area of missing wood on the top, as well as expected wear around the edges on both the lid and box. There is what looks like a crack on the lid, but I believe that 2 pieces of wood were used in its construction, as when you look on the inside, the line is very straight, and the grain doesn't quite match. In addition, there have been a few areas where nails have been added for reinforcement. Please look carefully at the pictures, and contact me with any questions.
