This is my most overlooked/misunderstood Instagram post(s) of 2020. Posted twice, NOT A SINGLE COMMENT on either post. Nothing. An American painted (original finish), walnut, canted open box. Wooden pegs, no nails. Crude dovetails, possibly riven wood. Unusual carved trim surrounding the base. The size of a shoebox. **Crickets chirping** #pilgrimcenturyfurniture #17thcenturybox #americancolonialfurniture #pilgrimcentury #primitivewoodenware #antiqueboxes #antique @iowacityart (at Iowa City Art & Antiques) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKO0d9nHs0t/?igshid=1x4kygd0zls2b

A primitive hand-carved mug/cup. Shrinkage cracks and a chip - but damn! I like it. I particularly like the initials and the stars, even if the cup's origins are unknown. #antique #treen #carvedmug #folkart #primitivewoodenware #unknownhistory #greatcarving. @iowacityart (at Iowa City Art & Antiques) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJzoVUtH1G3/?igshid=49psrfya4p1k
