Painted
Queen Anne
Country Pipe Box
with Star Finial  

Probably New England, ca. 18th to early 19th century.

Early dry sage green paint with black and blue/black banding/edges, all over first red, on pine. The footed case with drawer, leading up to a scrolled and hand-chamfered well opening, topped by a carved star finial.

The drawer retains the original iron pull with typical surrounding wear from handling. Joinery entirely by wooden pegs (no nails apparent).

Fitted at the top with an iron loop for hanging (also rests fine on a flat surface). Terrific surface and patina. About 20 inches tall to the top of the finial (another inch for the iron loop) x 5 7/16 inches wide x 3 ¾ deep. Has been in a long time New York State collection.
