<p>[QUOTE=&quot;James Conrad, post: 3269300, member: 5066&quot;]Meanwhile, over at Sotheby&#039;s, they released their catalog today, not near as fine objects this year I would say. That happens, it&#039;s rare when both houses have the best of the best in the same year.</p><p>That said, they did have 1 early important box, attrib. to John Moore 1614-1677, the design originator of what has become known as &quot;Foliated Vine Group&quot;, centered in Windsor Connecticut. The carving is peculiar to that area and these boxes are rare.</p><p>In great condition, original red wash, lock, and hinges.</p><p><a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2021/important-americana/very-fine-and-rare-pilgrim-century-red-painted" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2021/important-americana/very-fine-and-rare-pilgrim-century-red-painted" rel="nofollow">https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2021/important-americana/very-fine-and-rare-pilgrim-century-red-painted</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Red Painted Box, attrib.
