Small New England

Spice Chest in Red Paint

The term "spice chest" covers a multitude of possibilities, but this small country case of 5 drawers might equally well have been used for medicines or valuables. Four individual nailed drawers over one long drawer with doubled lipped drawer fronts. 12” x 12” x 5¼” with shaped bootjack sides in original paint. All basswood and probably northern New England or upstate New York, ca. 1875.
