- Lot Description
Paint-decorated and Carved Poplar Dower Chest, reportedly for Elizabeth Kepler Shadman [or Chadman], Berks County, Pennsylvania, early 19th century, the molded lift top above a well with till and two small drawers, painted allover with salmon ground, and varied designs in pink, black, white pinwheels, floral devices, and black dots, above a facade centering carved applied floral and heart and tulip ornament flanked by painted arched reserves with pinwheels and tulips, and corners painted with hearts above a carved Greek key frieze, and three short drawers, the center of which has a paneled front, all on molded ogee bracket base, (wear to paint, restoration to base), ht. 28, wd. 49, dp. 23 in.
Estimate $6,000-8,000
When this blanket chest was found it was missing its feet, part of the molding around the smaller center bottom drawer and about 50% of the applied tulip and heart. This chest was made by the same cabinet maker as the chest in the Ellie Hoover Walker Collection (sold by Skinner, August 9, 2015, Lot 1068). The feet on this chest are exact reproductions of the feet on the Walker chest. Even though some of the applied tulip/heart were missing the shadow of the molding was visible to guide the restoration. Restoration was accomplished by Kendl Monn of Christiana, Pennsylvania.
