BLUE PAINTED WALL CUPBOARD WITH ARCHITECTURAL DOOR
About the Item
This interesting wall cupboard, with its unusual, arched, architectural door, exaggerated cornice molding, and beautifully scalloped feet, retains an early coat of ink blue paint. The surface is particularly intriguing, bubbled and crackled with great texture and very attractive. The interior has nicely spaced shelves, good for a multitude of uses.
The door has recessed panels, chamfered on the inside. The sides are plank with scalloped cutouts. On the back, in black painted letters, is the name of a town that might read “Francesville, Ind.” or “Evansville, Ill.” In either event, the cupboard does have a mid-western feel with Swiss immigrant or French Canadian influence. It survives as great folk example in the most desirable paint color for country American furniture, made ca 1850-1880.

Dauphin County Pennsylvania Paint Decorated Dower Chest Made for Madlen Nafzer
Located in York County, PA
Dauphin County, Pennsylvania Paint-Decorated Dower Chest, Made for Madlen Nafzer in 1808
This colorful Pennsylvania German dower chest, with pinwheels and tiny flowers on Robin's egg blue tombstone panels, set on a salmon ground, was found with the descendents of Madlen Nafzer of Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. Passed down through her family for several generations, the chest is accompanied by a softbound book that details the history of the Nafzer family. It tells the basic story of the woman for whom the chest was made in 1808; of how her family arrived on American soil and of their subsequent moves from Pennsylvania to Ohio to Indiana with the migrating Pennsylvania Dutch Community.
Past its striking color and decoration, one of the most spectacular things about this particular chest is its untouched paint surface and early condition. While a lateral portion of the left, back foot is absent, broken and lost during the family's possession, the back of the foot is present and extremely stabile. This had been broken, presumably at the same time, but the original piece was kept and I personally doweled it back into place. I made no attempt to replace the missing side portion, so that the chest could be kept in this unspoiled form, a rare thing among surviving Pennsylvania Dower chests...
