Antique Japanese Style Hand-Painted Trunk with Scenic Decor, Early 20th Century
Located in Yonkers, NY
This early 20th-century Chinese trunk from the late Qing Dynasty captivates with its intricate hand-painted decor and rich lacquered finish. Showcasing Japanese-inspired artistry, the front panel features a scenic tableau of figures amidst a lush garden landscape, framed by ornate geometric borders and botanical flourishes. The vibrant details, including blooming flowers and delicate patterns, stand out against the deep black lacquer, a hallmark of Chinese craftsmanship from this period. Iron lateral handles and a central locking mechanism lend a utilitarian touch to this otherwise opulent piece, while the warm, natural interior wood provides an elegant contrast. This antique trunk offers both beauty and function, making it a versatile addition to your home. Place it at the foot of a bed to store linens and blankets, or use it as a living room coffee table, where it can house throws and books while sparking conversations about its storied past. The flat top also makes it a stunning display surface for curated decor, such as ceramics or floral arrangements. With its timeless design and meticulous detailing, this hand-painted trunk embodies the harmonious blend of Chinese tradition and Japanese influence, making it an exceptional statement piece for any interior. Whether used for storage or as an eye-catching focal point, this Qing Dynasty chest...

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.
