Description
WYTHE COUNTY, VA HARD POPLAR OVERSIZED PIE SAFE CUPBOARD, rectangular top above two full-length doors, single-panel ends, raised on turned feet. Each door features two double-joined tins hand punched in the urn-grape-and-diamond pattern with corner stars. Interior fitted with three full-length shelves without center divider. Poplar secondary wood. Old dry red-washed surface. Attributed to the shop of Fleming K. Rich (1806-1861) and his family. Mid 19th century. 73" h, 60" w, 21" d
Reference: See J. Roderick Moore, "Wythe County, Virginia, punched tin: its influence and imitators", The Magazine Antiques, September 1984, pp. 601-613.
Provenance: From a 35-year Richmond, VA collection.
Note: This monumental Wythe Co. safe cupboard is previously unrecorded and seemingly unique. While furniture with punched tins is traditionally associated with the kitchen and dining room areas, it seems reasonable to speculate that this cupboard might have functioned as a storage for linens or bed covers.
