SHENANDOAH CO., SHENANDOAH VALLEY OF VIRGINIA, PAINTED YELLOW PINE MINIATURE / CHILD'S BLANKET CHEST, the rectangular top with a rounded edge over a dovetailed case with an interior lidded till, the whole raised on short turned legs mortised through the bottom of the case. The interior bears several script signatures, the largest and most clear reads "Jonas Gochenour." Retains remnants of original leather hinges and old replacement iron hinges, and a surface which has been cleaned down to the likely original green-paint. Second quarter 19th century. 13 1/4" HOA, 16 3/4" WOA, 11 1/8" DOA.
Catalogue Note: Jonas Gochenour (Shenandoah Co., Virginia, 1815-1868) was a lifetime resident of the area outside Woodstock, VA. He served in the Eighth Infantry; Eighth Battalion, Reserves (First Battalion, Valley Reserves) during the American Civil War, and is listed as a farmer in the 1850 and 1860 census. Whether or not he is the maker of this chest is unclear, but certainly it was in his ownership at one time, and the construction parallels others being made in Shenandoah County during this era.
Very good condition with minor scattered wear to the painted surface; leather hinges broken and missing some sections.
From the estate collection of Alfred "Al" Marzorini, Washington, DC.
Laughlin Auctions, 1/10/2015, lot 4164.
