Paint Supply Box (Large)

2 1/2 in. x 19 in. x 15 in.

Object Type: Artist's Material

Medium and Support: metal on wood

Credit Line: Florence Griswold Museum;

A portable wooden paint supply box, larger of the two found on the work table. Square in shape, dark, unfinished wood. Exterior is in good condition, one large metal handle is screwed to the lower tray, front, center. A small keyhole is also at the center, two hook latches are at either outer edges at the front. The lid has a moveable front piece which is on three hinges to allow it to raise up and lay flush with the surface of the lid such that paint boards can slide in and out of two channels in the interior of the lid. Or the front piece can close down perpendicular to the lid so the objects will not slide out. A thin wood board connected to the main interior hinges to serve as a divider between the lower tray where the supplies are stored and the upper board/work area. The board has a shipping label on the top, a postmark stamped seal and a "insured" stamp. The lower supply tray is separated into four compartments, the back section contains two metal supports which hold up appear to hold up the lid (do not appear to be original to this particular box). Other compartments contains three paint tubes, ten brushes, blenders, and case of pencils. An additional view of the box can be found in the Surrogate List.
