Folk Art Decorated Chest, circa Late 1940s
Located in Nantucket, MA
Vintage Folk Art Decorated Wooden Chest or Footlocker, formerly the traveling chest of Big Band and cabaret singer Betty George, circa late 1940s to early 1950s, having an intricate geometric painted decoration reminiscent of the South Seas. The interior has a lift-out tray with two compartments closed by sliding lids. The chest has iron side bail handles and is mounted with casters. The lid bears the painted inscription "Miss Betty George."
The chest was obviously well used. The exterior is well scuffed and worn, but remains solid and strong, and the decoration remains very vibrant and nicely patinated. The interior is exceptionally well kept and bright, although one glue block is missing that helps support the tray.
Measures: 12-1/2 in H x 31-1/2 in L x 16 in W
Provenance: Miss Betty George was born in Manchester, NH in 1926. Thought quite a beauty in her home town, she went to New York and she sang with Big Bands including those of Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Artie Shaw...

Vintage, New and Antique Blanket Chests
Antique and vintage blanket chests go by many names. You may have heard them called hope chests, dowry chests or Lane cedar chests, with the latter referring to the now-famous case pieces manufactured by the Lane Furniture company.
No matter the name, these were initially large crude wooden boxes with hinged lids where you stowed away your blankets, household linens and possibly some valuables. Everyone can always use a bit more storage in our bedrooms or guest bedrooms, and blanket chests can be a stylish solution to help you stay organized, particularly if you’re short on closet space.
Blanket storage trunks are still typically equipped with hinges on their lids for easy access to their large storage capacity. They’re often rectangular pieces, but in the hands of today’s furniture designers, contemporary blanket chests take on many shapes and are made of varying materials. Most antique blanket chests are made out of wood, from rich mahogany to oak.
Find a wide range of antique, new and vintage blanket chests available for sale on 1stDibs.
