Scarce, Much Loved (Stella- & Rothko-esque!) Set of Six Old Nesting / Stacking Boxes pennsylvania folk and with a marvelous array

and with a marvelous array of animals serving as the dots--all so good

portrayed in this wonderful mid 19th century ink Fraktur drawing

and really really love the handling of the edges of this butterfly's wings

with this great domed brow

quite a long time ago I believe

Scarce, Much Loved (Stella- & Rothko-esque!) Set of Six Old Nesting / Stacking Boxes pennsylvania folk and with a marvelous arrayI'm always looking for these old wooden nesting stacking boxes, but only very rarely do I find them, and this is an even rarer, complete set of six, making for a whole rainbow. Very very much loved, with a lot of wear to the paint, lending a softness to the color of the bottoms and top rims especially, which I find quite beautiful. Great for arranging in all sorts of ways painterly and sculptural and very modernist. Red (largest): 5 7 8" x 5 3 8" x 5
