267 DECORATED BLANKET CHEST. Schoharie County, New York, 1820-1825, pine. dovetailed case, bracket feet, and interior till. Retains its dry, original, folksy paint decoration consisting of a brightly colored vase of flowers, dominated by the cabbage rose, against a blue ground, and bordered by scroll decoration with fan corners. 22"h. 45.75"w. 19.5"d. Ex Stephen Score (Mass), ex Christies, New York, January 20, 2012, lot 217. Painted blanket chests were important pieces in the homes of German settlers in Schoharie County, as well as Albany and Mohawk counties. The painted blanket chest originated from the traditions of the German homeland from which the ancestors of the New York settlers had fled in the first years of the eighteenth century, later immigrating to the Hudson Valley as part of the mercantile experiment sponsored by the government of Britain. Mary Antoine de Julio, scholar, states that these New York chests are as representative of German-American culture as their Pennsylvania counterparts. For an example by the same hand, see Skinner, October 27, 2013, lot 15.

Retains an old surface. 17.5”h. seat, 40”h. overall. The name “ I BRIGHT” is stamped on the inside of the rear seat rail. This chair descended in the Ruch family of Pennsylvania and Ohio. The original owner was likely Peter Ruch (17461823) of Northampton (now Lehigh) County, Pennsylvania. Ruch served as a major in the Continental Army during the American Revolution. Though Ruch married, he does not seem to have had any children, and thus the chair likely passed to his nephew, Peter (1779-1828), of Ruchsville, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania (a town he founded). The younger Ruch served in the War of 1812, ultimately rising to the rank of brigadier general in the Pennsylvania Militia. The chair then descended through this line of the Ruch family. For related carved shells, see Sack, The New Fine Points of Furniture, pp. 48 and 54.
