Schoharie County, NY Wall Box

Circa: 1810
Size: 12 7/8" W x 11" H x 6" D
Gutsy box! A huge reductive tulip serves as the back board. Overall dark green paint with tulip and vine decoration to the front - the back outlined with a heavy line and dot pattern.

Similar decoration is seen on Schoharie County blanket chests and cupboards, however this is the only wall box that I have seen with this decoration and shaped backboard.
