EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a beautifully decorated lift-top chest made for Jacob Ober in Rapho Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, USA in 1794. Crafted by the talented John Flory (1754-after 1824) or attributed to him, this wooden masterpiece measures 57.2x131.3x55.9 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The intricate decoration on this chest is truly remarkable. It features an array of birds, animals, and floral motifs that bring life to its surface. The inscriptions add a personal touch and further enhance its charm. This piece reflects the traditional colonial style of furniture prevalent during that era. What makes this chest even more unique are the Pennsylvania Deutsch influences evident in its design. The stylized unicorns and German-inspired elements create an ornate and decorative aesthetic that sets it apart from other pieces of furniture from that time period. The craftsmanship displayed here exemplifies the skill and artistry of Flory or his attributed workmanship. Every detail has been carefully painted with precision and attention to detail. This print captures not only the beauty but also the historical significance of this exquisite piece of furniture from early American history. Its presence evokes a sense of nostalgia while showcasing the rich cultural heritage embedded within each stroke of paint on its surface.
