Wide Chests For Sale on 1stDibs

An assortment of wide chests is available at 1stDibs. Each of these unique wide chests was constructed with extraordinary care, often using wood, oak and softwood. There are all kinds of wide chests available, from those produced as long ago as the 18th Century to those made as recently as the 20th Century. Wide chests made by Victorian designers — as well as those associated with Georgian — are very popular at 1stDibs. Not every interior allows for large wide chests, so small wide chests measuring 10.25 inches across are available at 1stDibs. Many wide chests are appealing in their simplicity, but Dillingham Manufacturing Company, Lane Acclaim and Andre Bus produced popular wide chests that are worth a look.

How Much are Wide Chests?

Wide chests can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price at 1stDibs is $1,633, while the lowest priced sells for $100 and the highest can go for as much as $48,000.

Finding the Right Blanket Chests for You

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.
