Gloria N. Greenwald Antiques & Folk Art
We have been dealing in early 18th & 19th century country antiques and folk art since 1989. The major Americana antique shows of the Northeast were a focus for many years. Having retired from the show circuit in 2006, we now concentrate on selling privately and online. We deal primarily in country smalls including painted boxes and bowls, lighting, iron and tinware, and baskets. We look for makers who understood form and function, even when handcrafting rather primitive objects. Our preference is for pieces that please the eye AND perform a function.
18th c., Small Sycamore Screw Top Herb/Spice Jar.
(Please read) A small 18th-century lathe-turned spice jars, especially those with visible old repairs, can be quite important and valuable—but not always for the reasons you might expect. Old repairs themselves are historical—they can show how valuable these objects were to their owners, suggesting rarity or importance. For collectors of 18th-century kitchenalia or treen (wooden domestic wares), even repaired pieces can be quite desirable. Museums often value "real use" signs—wear, patina, and repairs—as they authenticate age and daily use. Don't miss out on this special early 18th c,, spice/herb jar. It is tight as a rock even with the repairs. 3”h x 3 3/4” dia. We offer a layaway plan.

19th c., Very Rare "Sick Room Candle Lamp."
Sick Room lamps were a specialized lighting piece used in the 19th century. They provided gentle low light where ill persons were being cared for. The mica window provided that gentle safe light. Many of these little lamps were discarded when electricity was introduced. The first of its kind that I have seen. It's in wonderful original condition. 6.5" h x 5" diameter.
