Child's Chair. Late 19th or early 20th century. Painted and
paint-decorated, but the surface, although stable, has been heavily abraded.
(Unlike everything else in this selection, this is a piece of children's
furniture, not doll or dollhouse furniture, but it's well-scaled for a
large doll.)

Tin Bathing Room. Mid-19th century, probably French. There is
no indication that it was ever painted. There is no knob or handle on the
faucet. If there was, it's not impossible that it was actually a "working"
model in which a child could bathe her porcelain dolls.

An Inlaid Dishtop Tea Table. Rosewood, or similar exotic hardwood.
Later 20th century. Inlay around the edge is missing in two places. The
two rings near the center are complete. This is actual inlay. The disc
in the center appears to be laid on the top rather than inlaid. Regardless,
this is an unusually fancy piece of doll or dollhouse furniture, clearly
well-made. There is a collector label pasted on the underside of the top,
but no maker information.

Three Drawer Chest. Walnut, pine secondary. Late 19th or early
20th century. The brass knobs appear to be replacements. Originally there
was either an attached backsplash or a mirror frame.

Slant Front Desk. Pine. Early 20th century. A label reads: "The
Pennsylvania Museum And School of Industrial Art". (The PMSIA opened
in 1876 as a museum and school, then in 1938 the museum separated to become
the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the school became the Philadelphia
Museum School of Industrial Art, so the label indicates that this desk
predates the 1938 split.)

Victorian Hankerchief Box Chest. Early 20th century. Constructed
from Cuban Mahogany, that is, Havana cigar boxes. The Hankerchief Boxes
had hinged tops, now missing, as are all but one of the turned wooden knobs.
There is no indication of a mirror assembly ever having been present. The
drawers are paper-lined, and there is an uneven but probably original shellac
finish.

Paint Decorated Empire Low Chest. Pine, 19th century, perhaps
of the period. The front is paint decorated to simulate either Ribbon Mahogany
or Tiger Maple; the sides are in a red wash. There is a label inside the
top drawer, pictured. The level of craftsmanship on this one, of all the
items in the collection, is so high that it actually could be a Salesman's
Sample.

Two piece Chest on Chest. Probably Pine, first half
20th century.
Height: 12.25" Width: 7.5" Depth: 4.125"
n.b. In the picture it looks like the top piece is leaning forward.
I must simply have had it poorly positioned, because in reality it sits
quite straight, as it should.

Sheraton Low Post Bed. Probably Pine, 19th century. The bed
ruffle was clearly purpose-made to fit this bed frame; the sewing is by
machine, not by hand.

Victorian Spool Bed. Walnut. 19th century. A "rope bed," the
mattress is stuffed, perhaps with either kapok or cotton, covered in blue/white
stripe pillow ticking. The two pillows are constructed in the same manner.
All the bedding is probably of the period.

Four-poster with an arched canopy frame. Pine, the rope bed
frame is probably 19th century; the canopy frame is more recent, and is
also missing a piece. The mattress and baluster-style pillow are stuffed,
probably with cotton, and machine-sewn, likely quite some time ago. The
red cotton ruffle, which trims only three sides, is also machine-sewn,
and may be somewhat more recently done. Neither is at all "newly made".

There are at least a half dozen pieces of bed linens that I'm quite
certain go with one or another of these last four beds. The quilt pieces
are certainly 19th century pieces, others I think date from the early 20th
century, and then there are one or two that are probably later 20th century.
I won't offer them separately, just try to figure out which goes with which. |
