RARE MID-ATLANTIC, POSSIBLY VIRGINIA, PAINTED WHITE PINE PUNCHED-TIN PANELED MINIATURE FOOD / PIE SAFE, the rectangular overhanging top above two framed doors joined to the case with diminutive brass butt hinges, and secured with a heavy-gauge wire pull, open to reveal an open interior with a single fixed shelf, each door and case end having an applied sheet-iron/tin panel with an elaborate Wrigglework/hand-punched pinwheel design centered in a circular reserve surrounded by half moons, and all-over elliptical punches throughout. Retains its original dry rich green-painted surface to the exterior with the exception of the scrubbed top. Second half 19th century. 18 1/4" HOA, 14 3/4" WOA, 10 3/4" DOA.
Catalogue Note: The construction details and punched/Wrigglework detailing on the tins very closely parallels a miniature safe from the collection of Marshall Goodman (Jeffrey S. Evans & Associates, 9/23/2023, lot 1302). The decoration of the tins is rather unique on both examples in that the decoration is not punched through the tin, just impressed into the metal (some do punch lightly through, probably by accident of the maker). This type of decoration is seen on tole and sheet-iron vessels normally attributed to Pennsylvania.
Mr. Goodman discovered his example south of Richmond, but it is unknown where the Kites found the present example.
Very good condition overall with professional patched repairs where the hinges attach to the left door frame and the case; scattered minor surface wear with possible very minor retouching to the painted surface; a shrinkage split to the top board; the interior base board loose with its connection to the case; surface with light old, possibly original, varnishing or waxing.
From the estate collection of Ronnie and Neal Kite, Esmont, VA.
