Description:
Rectangular wooden artist's box grain-painted in black and red and stenciled "H.C. Orange, Mass." The box has a leather strap handle and hinged lid, and contains approximately 115 stencils to decorate chairs and walls, several packages of bronze stencilling powders, and several pointed decorating instruments. The box is significant because it belonged to western Massachusetts ornamental painter Henry Coolidge (1829-1906) of Orange and Greenfield, Massachusetts, and came from Nina Fletcher Little collection. The lot also contains the account book (HD 94.018.2) of Samuel Pearce (1752-c.1807) of New Salem, Massachusetts.
