A wonderfully whimsical paint-decorated pine step-back cupboard by Peter Hunt (Massachusetts, 1896–1967), showcasing the artist’s distinctive folk-inspired aesthetic and exuberant use of color and figural decoration. The upper section features open shelves painted a rich crimson red and framed by trompe-l’oeil blue curtains tied with bows, beneath an arched crest decorated with a charming horse-and-rider scene and scattered stars. Three lower drawers are embellished with stylized flowers, figures, hearts, and decorative flourishes in Hunt’s characteristic palette, retaining simple painted pulls and raised on small ball feet. The beautifully aged painted surface, with expected rubbing, losses and wear, lends the piece tremendous character and reinforces its authentic folk-art presence. A particularly decorative example of Hunt’s celebrated Cape Cod furniture, equally compelling as functional storage and as a statement piece of American 20th-century folk art
