LATE 19TH to EARLY 20TH CENTURY AMERICAN FOLK ART ANTIQUE PRIMITIVE 

JIG-CUT LACQUERED PINE, HANGING WALL POCKET, featuring NAILED CORNER CONSTRUCTION, DEEP, NATURALLY OXIDIZED, AGED FINISH, ALL ORIGINAL SURFACES & DRY, UNLACQUERED WOOD BACK 

[Estate fresh & only very recently found in an early cape style home on the South Shore of Massachusetts, south of Duxbury. It's early 20th century as a result of its nailed corner construction, as opposed to earlier 19th century dove-tailed corner joinery sidewall construction. The original lacquered finish has darkened & is now a rich nut brown color. The wooden backing board has an old vertical split, either a drying fracture or from a previous tumble off the wall onto the floor. The wood is still stable but this needed to be mentioned. No effort was made at least by us to mitigate, disguise or apply wood fixative to this area. We've chosen to leave it alone since it doesn't interfere with the presentation or viewing of the wall pocket. There's no other wood loss or surface damage. It has a great folk art, primitive antique look & is now between 110 to 125 years old. Everyone loves wooden cubbies & wall pockets, especially when they look like this. It's ready for assignment. What's on the walls of your kitchen or mudroom? Sweet.]
