CIVIL WAR ERA DRUM WITH PAINTED SCENE OF THOROUGHFARE GAP VIRGINIA.

CIVIL WAR ERA DRUM WITH PAINTED SCENE OF THOROUGHFARE GAP VIRGINIA. This is a typical Civil War era snare drum measuring about 15″ tall and 17-1/2″ in diameter. There is a fine painted rendition of an American Flag draped over a medallion showing a pastoral view of hills, trees, pasture and a barn labeled “THOROUGHFARE GAP VA”. The painting measures about 11″ tall and 13″ across. On first inspection there appears to be in painting around a couple edges, but upon closer inspection it may just be areas where the varnish has been cleaned with a solvent exposing brighter paint. Regardless, these edges are very small if they are restored. This is a fine piece of American Folk Art with quite a unique subject. Thoroughfare Gap was the site of several Cavalry encounters during the Civil War. CONDITION: Drum overall is in very good condition. Drum body appears clean except to area of painting which has been left alone with old varnish which has discolored and yellowed. There are numerous small chips, scraps and scratches to the painted surface, but all in all as can be seen in photos it is mostly intact. Heads, ropes, snares and tighteners are all restored. 4-44170 JS162 (2,000-3,000)
