Early Berlin, CT Toleware Trunk
Excellent Berlin, CT painted tinware trunk. Smaller than usual at 7 7/8”, it has the classic salmon-vermillion band decorated with yellow candy stripes edged in alizarin overtones above four swags with drops, each centered with 7 yellow dots. Great color and alligatoring to the paint. This trunk is a microcosm of Berlin, CT decorative forms—forms that were carried into PA, NY and briefly Cincinnati, OH by migrating decorators. Original brass bale handle. Ca. !815-1850
$795
