The Red Seltzer
Chest
From 1770 to about 1820, Christian Seltzer, his son John, John's
brother-in-law and Peter Rank, all built and decorated chests in
Jonestown, Dauphin County (now Lebanon County), Pennsylvania.
Our replica is an accurately scaled version of a chest built by
Christian Seltzer, signed by him and dated 1784. The "Pot and
Flowers" motif on this chest is the distinctive decoration found
on most of the Jonestown chests, and the obvious inspiration of
other decorations in Pennsylvania and beyond. |

The Salmon Wyeth
Chest
In the 18th and 19th centuries the Shenandoah Valley not only

Strongly influenced by the Pennsylvania Germans, the craftsmen
of Wythe County, Virginia designed and constructed their version
of the painted chest. |

The Lehigh County
Chest
Found in the Lehigh River Valley of Pennsylvania is yet another
example of a school of decorated chests built and painted around
1780. The designs are heavily inscribed with a compass and then
painted by hand. The majority of the original chests found in
this area have a common carnation pattern on the front and a
cream colored tombstone end panel in which the decoration is
painted. |
|
The Jonestown Chest
John Seltzer painted and decorated chests around 1800. John
learned from his father, Christian Seltzer, who was painting
chests as early as 1770. The "Pot and Flower" motif is once
again seen on this chest from the Jonestown area. |
|
The Berks County Chest
In the Berks County region, the Pennsylvania German chests are
distinguished by the frequent use of the confronting unicorns,
six lobed flowers and the saw-toothed borders. |
