Early 18th Century Wedding Blanket Chest
About the Item
Tyrolean wedding chest
Measurements: H.80 – L.156 – P.55
Period: early 18th century
Origin: Tyrol
Essence: Fir
Large Tyrolean chest, in fir wood, with shaped lowering.
The front is divided into five framed panels, three smaller and two larger.
The surface is painted with warm colors such as brown, brick red, ocher, the sides have a decoration that reproduces the grain of the wood. The absence of floral decorations, the patina and the type of construction indicate that the chest can be dated to the beginning of the 18th century.
In this era, in fact, Tyrolean painted furniture was decorated with very simple motifs, sometimes geometric, or more simply with backgrounds that reproduced wood, marble or other precious essences that could not be found in the Alpine valleys.
Internally this chest has been carefully cleaned and still has the typical small compartment with a folding door, also useful for keeping the lid of the chest open (visible in the photo).

- 18th Century, Nantucket Origin, Coffin Family Stand-Up Blanket ChestLocated in York County, PA18th CENTURY, NANTUCKET-ORIGIN, STAND-UP BLANKET CHEST, EXUBERANTLY PAINT-DECORATED, OWNED BY THE COFFIN FAMILY AND NICKNAMED "THE TIGER CHEST" BY FAMILY MEMBERS, WHO HANDED IT DOWN FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION, CIRCA 1780-90 Stand-up blanket chest over two drawers, exuberantly painted, in a Folk Art manner, with fancifully scalloped, boot jack ends and skirt, attractively proportioned. The decoration consists of widely-spaced, curving lines, in a loose interpretation of elaborate wood grain. The result is all-together bold and whimsical, with a degree of visual impact seldom achieved among its counterparts, placing it among the best of its kind. The story that accompanies the chest solidifies its importance in both American history and decorative arts. It was handed down through generations of the Coffin family on Nantucket, where it was very likely made. Anyone who knows the island well, knows that the Coffin name is practically synonymous with Nantucket itself. The Coffins were a whaling family who both settled the island (purchasing it with a group of investors for 30 pounds and 2 beaver hats...Category
