An exceptional pair of small green, 19th century oval, fingered pantry boxes. Each retains nearly all of its original green painted surface and both are in pristine condition. The larger box measures 4.75 x 3.5 x 1.75. The smaller box measures 3.5 x 2.5 x 1.5 inches. Both are fresh from a private Massachusetts collection. These little gems are becoming nearly impossible to find these days in this condition and graduation. Inventory number 24PD271.

If she weren't so very pretty, I would have passed her by, so if the next owner wishes to live with her as is or have her restored, it'll be a future choice to make.  Size: 17 x 13 overall in its original decorated frame. c1835. Inventory number 24PD270.

William Matthew Prior, 1806-1873, Bath, Maine. This portrait is signed and dated verso by Prior and represents his father, a seagoing captain. The work is being offered without a frame and as you can see in one of the images, there is an old repair just to the left of his father's face. The work is very well done and represents Prior's work in his later years. As mentioned, Prior passed in 1873 with this work being completed in 1870 just three years before his death at age 67. Its overall size is 28 x 33 with an overall crackled surface. Inventory number 24PD197.
