- Lot Description
SIGNED JAMES W. SHEETZ (SHENANDOAH CO., 19TH CENTURY) PAINT-DECORATED YELLOW PINE AND POPLAR JELLY CUPBOARD / SERVER, a well-executed vernacular expression of the cabinetmaker's art, featuring a finely detailed gallery with deeply cut scrolls and central, flower-like device over a rectangular top above two hinged, fielded-panel doors, each with single beaded edge, all raised on slender, square-tapered feet. Original inlaid bone escutcheon. Numerous inscriptions, mostly mathematical, to interior of case and to backboards, including possible pricing calculations and the inscription "James W. Sheetz / Woodstock". Original paint-decorated surface with later varnish (now oxidized and darkened). Circa 1875. 49 1/2" HOA, 37 1/2" W, 19 1/4" D.
Provenance: From the estate collection of Floyd and Julia Reynolds, Alexandria and Shenandoah County, VA.
Catalogue Note: The maker of this cupboard, James W. Sheetz (Shenandoah Co., b.1851), is the same artisan to whom the carved and painted folk art carousel horse, sold by JSE & Associates in 2007 (Lot 1198) and now in the collection of the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley, is attributed. That horse is one of eight originally from a traveling carousel that operated at various fairs and Confederate Veterans Reunions throughout Shenandoah Co. during the fourth quarter of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Tradition indicates that the carousel, which also featured four sleigh-like benches behind each pair of horses, was built and/or assembled by James W. Sheetz. Sheetz is listed in the 1880 Shenandoah Co. census as a 29-year old carpenter living in the Stonewall District, and the family has a long history of carpentry work and cabinetmaking in Shenandoah Co. Additionally, in 1878, James W. Sheetz, then of Woodstock, VA, received a patent for an "Improvement in Combined Washer and Wringer". Clearly, Sheetz was a talented craftsman as well as something of an inventor, and the present lot stands as a fine example of his work.Loss of knob, otherwise excellent condition.Condition
