Mohawk Valley Painted Dower Chest, 19th Century
$5,800.00
A striking early American painted pine dower chest from New York’s Mohawk Valley, dating to the 19th century. The chest features bold geometric decoration in its original paint—deep blue ground with vivid orange and white panels, including two shaped reserves flanking a central crescent motif. Along the base runs a repeating lozenge border, adding rhythm and balance to the facade
Details
The lift-top lid retains its original strap hinges and opens to reveal an interior candle box, a typical feature of the period. Constructed of painted white pine with dovetailed joinery, the chest rests on simple cut-out feet. Its size offers generous storage, making it practical today as a coffee table or statement piece in a country or folk art collection.
Surface shows age-appropriate wear with expected abrasions and scattered paint loss, consistent with its early origins. Stable and structurally sound. Original painted decoration remains vibrant, with desirable dry surface patina.
Dimensions
19"H × 50"L × 18"D
