Superb Irish 19th century painted pine wall shelf. The painted surfaces have been carefully dry-scraped to reveal the original blue and mustard paints -which haven’t been retouched and are beautifully preserved! The colors are very typical for country furniture and the blue paint in particular, is that traditional and very desirable light blue! This was originally a plate rack - the dowels were at some point removed and more recently, picture frame hooks were added. The shelf has a reeded frame which gives it added detail.
It is a fabulous shelf for displaying small pottery pieces, vintage toys and folk art such as decoys etc. It is structurally sound and the condition is excellent commensurate with the age of the piece. No repairs.
Measures 39” x 31 ½”. Shelf depth is 3 ¼”.
