Schoharie Decorated Blanket Chest
About the Item
Painted blanket chests were important pieces in the homes of German settlers in Schoharie County, as well as Albany and Mohawk counties. The painted blanket chest originated from the traditions of the German homeland from which the ancestors of the New York settlers had fled in the first years of the eighteenth century, later immigrating to the Hudson Valley as part of the mercantile experiment sponsored by the government of Britain. Mary Antoine de Julio, Scholar, states that these New York chests are as representative of German-American culture as their Pennsylvania counterparts.
