19th C. Pennsylvania Stepback Cupboard - Found in McKean County, PA, is this absolutely stunning example of New England painted furniture. Just as "right as rain", this 2-piece cupboard has everything it had when it was originally made. Complete with a 3 wide board back, wonderful cutouts, and great top moldings. The paint history appears to be blue-green over gray over red. One early repair to the top front edge of the base.
Measures: 20 1/2"deep x 51" wide x 84 1/2" high.

Price: $3299


18th C. Pennsylvania Tavern Table - In exceptional original robin's egg blue paint. Wonderful wear to the stretchers. Very tight - made well with pinned mortise & tenon construction. Very nice hand-cut detail on the stretchers as well as the legs. Note the rail above the drawer is missing but this does not alter functionality or appearance. Large dovetailed drawer with rather cool mousehole in the back of it. Drawer also retains it's original knob. Drawer sides as well as it's guides have been altered to keep it running smooth in and out. This repair is normal and in no way detracts from the appearance or value of this piece. No apologies for this base.
The top has been altered. It appears as though one section in the middle was cutout and then reglued back up and Dutchmen put in on the underside. The original cleats and most of the top remain as there are still traces of the blue in places near the cleats. This explains why it seems about 8" narrower than it should be. Top made of maple with great patina and staining as you might expect. Pins to the top are missing.
This table is a super find and is stunning to look at as you can see from the photos. Any owner should be proud to own this, as we are. We date this table to around 1770 - 1790.
Measures: 53" long x 28" wide x 30" high. Very comfortable to sit at.

Price: $2499

 

 

19th C. Corner Cupboard - Exceptional condition! Just everything the way you want to find these. Everything original except for the overpaint which is 20th century.

Right top molding is cracked but intact. Lower right door panel has wear where the door had opened into another object for many, many years. What character. The cream paint under the blue can be seen on one of the back boards. The back boards are 18" wide.
This is an exceptional cupboard with wonderful moldings and stature. A great size that will fit in any room.

Also, back in the days that it had the grain paint, there were large wooden wheels attached to the front and back in order to wheel this cupboard around.
