Pennnsylvania Blanket Chest

Fine small Pennsylvania blanket chest bearing bold floral decorations very similar to those featured by Johannes Ranck (1765-1828) of Dauphin (now Lebanon) County, Pa. on blanket and dower chests. We are unable to make that attribution, but this piece was at least decorated "after" those by Ranck and probably dates to the early-mid 19th century. Nice clean interior with intact till. Has some wear, especially to the feet.  The smaller size (36 ¾"L x 13 5/8"W x 19" H) is great. (CD-15)
