Red Lacquer Wedding Chest with Gilt Foo Dogs and Calligraphy Motifs
Located in Yonkers, NY
Vibrant and richly detailed, this small Chinese red lacquered blanket chest was designed as a traditional wedding gift and carries with it layers of symbolic meaning and decorative appeal. The rectangular form is finished in a bold cinnabar lacquer, its surface hand-painted in gilt with auspicious motifs that celebrate union, longevity, and protection.
The lid is centered with a stylized medallion framed by bats and scrolling foliage—classic emblems of happiness and good fortune. A traditional iron clasp secures the top, which opens to reveal a yellow fabric-lined interior, the color itself associated with prosperity and imperial favor. On the chest’s façade, gilt guardian lions—foo dogs—flank a ribbon-tied ball, representing the safeguarding of domestic harmony. Above them, a series of gilt-painted calligraphic symbols and circular medallions reference the phoenix, the dragon, and the number nine...

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.
