Stunning Antique, Early 1700s Hand Carved Wooden Spanish Blanket Chest / Trunk
Located in Lisse, NL
Renaissance style, cassone chest. This rare and practical size chest is of considerable age and it has an amazing patina. Thanks to the natural wear it looks exactly like you would expect and want a piece of this age to look. This good size chest comes with a heavy lid that is made out of one thick, large and striking slab of wood. Over the centuries the natural wear obviously required some of the parts of this chest to be replaced or strengthened and luckily former owners have made the effort. We salute them, because it has preserved the beauty and practicality of this very old antique. In case you did not know, in the compartment with the hinging lid on the right people would keep their candles. This all hand-crafted antique and talking piece stands perfectly strong and stabile and it can and will be used by many more generations to come. It can be used as a unique coffee table, but it will ofcourse also look marvelous to the wall of your entry hall, on a landing or at the footend of a bed. This chest in fact will look great in any space where it has the room to shine. It even comes with a perfect working, antique lock and key...

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.
