Vtg. PA Primitive Spice Box in Old Gold Paint

For sale is a very nice and rather unusual vintage, possibly antique, handmade folk art 6-drawer spice chest that I acquired from a sale in Pennsylvania, and that I'm sure was made there as well.

In addition, In the middle of the top, there is an incised circle that looks like the sun, or possibly a sunflower. All of the drawer pulls are hand carved wood, and I think that the drawers are mortised. The piece measures about 12 5/8" tall, 7 7/8" wide, and 3 1/2" deep, and is in nice vintage/antique condition, with nice signs of age, including some filler or glue on the back, but it displays very well.

19th C. PA. Folk Art Bandbox w/Tulip Design

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.
