The cupboard has a paint history with the most recent coat being an old grain paint and the original paint being Prussian blue. It could probably be taken down to the original surface if desired.

STOOL IN OLD PAINT
This is a very nice wooden stool in wonderful old salmon paint. The under side of the slab top is scattered with old holes and tool marks. Looks like it was used as a work surface at some time. The sides have some holes from times past when the stool was upholstered. Judging by what I can see, it looks as though this stool may have been upholstered originally then the upholstery removed and the stool painted and then it may have been upholstered several more times. When we bought it, the upholstery was no longer in existence. The salmon paint is early and the stool has a wonderful surface. The top measures 13 1/2" X 6 3/4". It stands about 6 3/4" tall.

18TH CENTURY LADDERBACK ARMCHAIR
This armchair is beautiful but is a bit short in height. It has a nice tall back which gives it wonderful presence. There are five arched slats. It is a mushroom arm chair as you can see the mushroom finials are extremely worn, especially the one on the left. The chair has nice sausage turnings on the front and back posts. Everything on the chair, with exception of the replaced natural rush seat, is original. The overall height to the top of the finial is about 46 1/2". The seat height at the front center is 14 1/2". The chair would have been quite a bit taller because the very bottoms of the legs retain pockets, that are now filled, that would have held another set of front and rear stretchers.

SET OF EARLY 19TH CENTURY SHELVES
These shelves are really great because of the wonderful old surface, and the detail of the arched aprons under each shelf. There are four shelves. The three bottom shelves are approximately 10" apart from each other. The top shelf is about 11 1/4 " high. The shelves are all 6" deep. The overall dimension of the piece is approximately 47" tall and 42" wide. It is made out of white pine. It has a great applied cornice molding at the top. The surface has a wonderful crusty brown paint. The shelves are constructed with square nails. The back is not as old as the shelves and was added at a later date but certainly not recently. The back boards are cut with a circular saw. The bottom and sides of the set of shelves has been cut unevenly.. This is the way I found them hanging in a cellar in a Granby, CT home. Despite the cut, these have a fabulous form and surface! The shelves are fantastic for displaying pewter, ceramics or painted tinware!

EARLY 19 C. DRY SINK
This is a late entry to our website update! If you are looking for a dry sink, you will not find a better example! This one has fine proportions and early red paint. ..really a fantastic surface! There are remnants of several earlier coats of paint under the early red including blue, yellow and black. The drawer has large dovetails and the case has an arched bracket base. The interior is beautiful as well. There is an iearly tin patch on the under side and front edge of the bottom shelf. The early metal latch between the doors was probably added in the 1830's ro 40's. It appears originally to have had a wood knob with an extention on the interior that would have pivoted and locked into a depression in the center of top shelf. The back is beautifully chamfered and fit into the case. I believe the wood is poplar. It looks too clear to be pine. The dry sink measures 34 1/4" tall at the top of the shelf to the right of the well. It is 43 1/4" wide and 20 1/4" deep including the overhang. This is fresh to the market!
