Literature: Gather Up the Fragments: The Andrews Shaker Collection, by Mario S. De Pillis and Christian Goodwillie (Hancock Shaker Village, Inc., 2008), p. 114.
The Canterbury, New Hampshire, Shakers manufactured large amounts of cooperage during the 19th century. This lidded pail exhibits many of the hallmarks of cooperage from that community. The staves are joined with a "V"-shaped notch, and chamfered at the bottom to guard against splitting (like the Mount Lebanon example in this sale, Lot 2). The wire bail is set into a diamond-shaped bail plate (really strap iron cut on the diagonal) that has been relieved at the top to accommodate the iron rim. The turned hardwood handle has a double central scribe line and chamfered ends to prevent splitting. The bottom is turned, and beveled at the outer edge to fit into the staves.
Estimate $2,500-3,500
