CP2 (P188) Exceptional early 19th century Augusta County, Virginia Food Safe / Pie Safe bearing its original salmon paint boasting the original hand-punched/pierced star tins, an applied gallery, and two drawers resting on high, tapered legs. The tins feature stars inside a circle, and are typical Shenandoah Valley, Virginia style with two rectangular oversized tins joined together by crimped/overlapping joints to create the visual effect of one very large tin on each door and both ends. The creatively placed punched quarter circles and rows of wide horizontal punches that accent the encircled stars on each of the individual tins create multiple visually appealing patterns when the tins are adjoined. Clean, natural patina interior. Mortised and pegged with square head nail construction. Circa 1820-1840.
Measurements: 53 ¾” wide x 23” deep x 55 5/8” tall
