Anglo-Indian 19th Century Two-Toned Geometric Front Mahogany Coffer on Base
Located in Atlanta, GA
An Anglo-Indian geometric front mahogany coffer on base from the 19th century, with lift top, carved panels, two drawers, cabriole legs and lateral handles. Hand-crafted during the 19th century, this Anglo-Indian mahogany coffer features a rectangular lid with twisted accents on the edges, that lifts up to reveal a dark interior convenient to store blankets and linen. It is the two-toned façade however, which attracts our attention with its geometric décor flanked with studs in the upper section. The center is occupied by ornate hardware while the lower part is made of two drawers. Their dovetail construction reveals the piece's age. The sides present C-scroll handles allowing the piece to be moved more easily, this item was therefore a travelling piece. The ensemble is raised on four cabriole legs on trifid feet. With its two toned finish and skillfully carved geometric décor, this Anglo-Indian coffer...

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.
