RARE Vintage Authentic Shaker 5 Finger Oval Box - Original Red Paint - Sabbathday Lake Maine Community (Circa. 1840)

Antiques : By Period, Style : Shaker : Boxes

 

Rare early Shaker large 5 finger oval box with reverse finger cover has traces of original red paint. Reverse finger boxes usually are associated with the Harvard Community; however this one is Sabbathday Lake circa 1840.

Measures 12-3/8" diameter x 5" high. Boxes of this size were usually for personal use; rather than for sale to the world.

Over the years, there has been some finish lost on the cover. Otherwise, this box is in wonderful shape for its age.

Came from a private Boston collection sold at auction in New Lebanon, NY in 2002.
