Item Details
Description
For your consideration is this Early American Primitive Hand-made Wood Boot Jack, circa 1850s. Provenance tag indicates the boot jack came from an Early American Colonial house and was made from "Philadelphia oak". A boot jack is a tool which facilitates hands-free removal of boots. Many Early American boot jacks were primitive in style, oftentimes hewn from a tree limb or root, rudimentary but functional in use. As the country matured, a need for more refinement soon followed with furniture and accessories that mimiced European styling. This boot jack was designed to be freestanding, ideal for removing riding or hunting boots. The frame being two square supports attached with mortise and tenon joining and finished with a shaped T-handle on top. A foot plate would have been shaped to take the heel of the boot whilst there is a central hinged wooden splat to restrain the toe area, thus making it a lot easier to remove your foot from the boot. Early Americans tried to maintain the rectangular features of the Jacobean period furniture and design, but the results, though of a more crude character, still fulfilled the needs of the early settlers. This Early American primitive Free-standing wood boot jack shows amazing lasting craftsmanship for its age, evidence of a wood finish can still be seen in places. Though the foot plate is missing, this is still an amazing piece of Early American history. Measures 20"W x 31.25"H x 2.25"D
