About the Item

Late 18th-century New England blanket chest. Made of pine with a lift-up top over three molded false drawers and one large lower drawer. All retaining the original red paint and original brass hardware. United States, circa 1790 Measures: 35.5” H 40” W 18” D. A charming and historically significant late 18th-century New England blanket chest, handcrafted in the United States circa 1790. Constructed from solid pine, this piece exemplifies early American craftsmanship with its practical design and understated elegance. The chest features a lift-top lid that opens to reveal a spacious interior for storing linens, quilts, or seasonal items. Below the lid, three molded false drawer fronts create the illusion of a traditional chest of drawers, while a single large functional drawer at the base offers additional storage. All components retain their original red painted finish and are accented with original brass bail pulls and escutcheons, lending authenticity and warm patina to the piece. Raised on slightly tapered feet with subtle bracket shaping along the skirt, this chest is both sturdy and stylistically versatile- perfect for rustic, traditional, or Americana-inspired interiors!
