<p>[QUOTE=&quot;James Conrad, post: 507753, member: 5066&quot;]A Spitler chest is up for grabs tomorrow at Cowan&#039;s, it&#039;s in poor condition, the paint is faded, feet are missing ( Base replaced upon a similar example in the collections of Colonial Williamsburg) but, there is no doubt it is a Spitler piece. Spitler was a german/swiss immigrant working in the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia in the last quarter 18th century. Spitler was a genius with a paint brush in his hand and although he often used traditional germanic themes, birds, tulips, pinwheels, etc, the way he put them together is striking &amp; have a modern art quality. Estimate is 15k-25k</p><p><a href="https://www.cowanauctions.com/lot/rare-and-important-johannes-spitler-painted-shenandoah-valley-blanket-chest-3927646" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cowanauctions.com/lot/rare-and-important-johannes-spitler-painted-shenandoah-valley-blanket-chest-3927646" rel="nofollow">https://www.cowanauctions.com/lot/rare-and-important-johannes-spitler-painted-shenandoah-valley-blanket-chest-3927646</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]165320[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
