IF YOU LIKE SURFACE?!
Pure Little Country Gameboard
Probably New England, ca. 1820-1860.
Original black and golden/mustard paint on white pine. The dry painted surface gorgeously patinated and crackled. The picture-frame molding applied with “square” nails. Untouched. So pure that it has never even been fitted with a hanger. Just about 12 ¼ inches square, and 1 inch thick. Feels good in hand. A charming pure Americana survivor.
The harmony of that surface and small size make it special.
