118DECORATED BLANKET CHEST.Probably northern Indiana or southwestern Michigan, mid-late 19th century, pine. Turned feet, dovetailed caseand interior till with lid. Original dark red paint with stencilled gold and silver starflowers, basket of melons and“JS”. Minor edge damage. 25 1/2”h. 43 1/2”w. 19 1/2”d.Found in Illinois.
The chests offered as lots 118 and 119 are possibly from the same shop in northern Indiana or southwestern Michigan. Although their overall design scheme is quite different, several of the stencilled motifs appear to havebeen applied using the same stencils, including the heart-lyre and the starflower motifs, as well as the flower-scroll motif that appears on the sides of the fish-stencilled chest and on the lid of the melon-stencilledchest.
These two chests illustrate an important connection between the stencilled furniture popular in the SomersetCounty, Pennsylvania, Mennonite community of Soap Hollow and the Mennonite communities in the Midwest.The heart-lyre and the star motifs appear on Soap Hollowfurniture by several of the known makers. More importantly, however, the basket of melons on the front of lot 118 is very similar to the basket of melons seen onfurniture by Jeremiah Stahl and is similar to the melon basket stencil that descended in the Sala family; see Muller, pp. 41 and 66-67.
In Soap Hollow: The Furniture and Its Makers, Muller indicates that numerous members of the Soap Hollow community migrated to the Midwest. Among them weresome of the craftsmen, including Peter K. Thomas, David K.Livingston, and Jeremiah Stahl, all of whom moved to KentCounty, Michigan. It seems most probable, then, that thesemakers, particularly Jeremiah Stahl, were key players in thetransmission of stencil decoration to the American Midwestduring the second half of the 19th century.$1,000-$1,500
119DECORATED BLANKET CHEST.Northern Indiana or southwestern Michigan, 19th century, poplar. Dovetailed case andbracket feet. Has till with lid. Original red flame graining with stencilled gold and silverfish with scrolls and starflowers. Imperfections. 23 1/4”h. 37 1/2”w. 18 3/4”d.
As noted in the previous lot, the stencilled decoration on this blanket chest illustrates astrong connection to the furniture of Soap Hollow. Of particular note on this chest is thefish, a highly unusual motif on non-coastal furniture. In Soap Hollow: The Furniture andIts Makers, Muller illustrates another fish-decorated blanket chest (p. 65) that, like this example, shares motifs with known Soap Hollow pieces, most notably a bird on a fernthat also appears on a chest by Jeremiah Stahl. Likely the Muller chest and the chest offered here were both produced in the same area and both makers drew upon their cultural connection to Soap Hollow.$800-$1,200

424IMPORTANT LINCOLN FUNERARY WREATH.Ohio, dated April 29, 1865. Floral and foliate wreath mounted in its original shadow box frame, and the backing paper reads, “This Wreath lay upon the Breast of Abraham Lincoln while his body was lying in State at Columbus, O. April 29, 1865.” 22”d.
On April 21, six days after the death of Abraham Lincoln, the funeral train, containing his body, began its journey to Springfield, Illinois, for burial. Towns and cities along the 1,700 mile journey held funeral processions and offered orations mourning the slain president.
Even prior to the arrival of the funeral train,on April 19, the small town of Piqua, in Miami County, Ohio, held a funeral, and the featured orator was Dr. Godwin Volney Dorsey (1812-1885), a prominent physician and staunch Lincoln supporter. Dorsey had been participating in politics since the 1840s, culminating in his appointment as Ohio State Treasurer in 1861 and 1863.
When Lincoln’s body lay in state at the Ohio Statehouse on April 29, 1865, his casket was covered by wreaths, one of which was purchased by Dr. Dorsey, who reclaimed the wreath upon the train’s departure. The wreath then descended in the Dorsey family until acquired by the current owner in 1975.
Provenance:Dr. Godwin Volney DorseyWalker McCorkle Dorsey, his sonE.A. Schaeffer, Jr., his great-nephewBetsy Berkshire, his daughter
A handwritten letter from Betsy Berkshire, dated September 25, 1975, outlines this family history and accompanies the wreath. $5,000-$10,000
