Antique Shaker small oval lapfinger box in red paint, only 4-1/2 inches wide, 19th C. Small oval size of box much desired by Shaker collectors. Opposing fingers as made in Harvard, Mass. Shaker community. This scarlet red color is not the usual iron stain but is paint, often called "lipstick red". Older red paint remains underneath later-but-old red enamel top coat, the difference between the two layers made visible by shine variation. Box lid and bottom both painted red. Wee bit of white paint tiny spatter outside, inside painted ivory color. Box found with old handmade black and brown cloth buttons that may be from Shaker garments. Pinhole in box bottom, but no breaks or repairs make for overall very nice condition.
