Paint-Decorated Step-Back Cupboard with Tomb-Stone Glass Panel Doors
Pennsylvania, ca. 1820-1830
Poplar, poplar with grain paint and smoke-paint decoration
Condition: Paint decoration is untouched, including interior paint. Original turned pulls. See full condition report.
An extraordinary survivor of time. The cupboard’s proportions and incredible paint decoration make it highly desirable. The quality of the cabinetry contributes to its fine state of preservation as well. Originally, varnish was applied to protect the painted surface; later applications continued to preserve it, in turn becoming part of the history of the surface but also masking the vibrancy of the paint. The later applications of varnish were successfully removed revealing the brilliant colors of the original paint.
