Very Good-Excellent overall antique cond: Recently discovered on the South Shore of MA in the Plymouth, MA area & discovered in a quite early farmhouse w/attached carriage sheds & lg post & beam barn is this simply fantastic late 18th-early 19th c salmon colored, milk painted, hand carved wooden boot jack, feat all orig surfaces, 1st gen paint & chamfered edges, one of the identifiable hallmarks & characteristics of very early American furniture & wooden decorative art construction. These antique primitive boot jacks are fairly common but certainly not in salmon paint. In the world of primitives collecting, salmon painted furniture & decorative objects is 2nd only to robin egg blue in rarity & desirability. Usually these painted pieces of what would normally be pedestrian, run-of-the-mill utilitarian objects are coveted once they're found w/paint. Everyone wore boots, especially men, working in the fields & being around horses & livestock. Boot jacks were omnipresent. Estate fresh. |
