Midcentury Whitewashed Blanket Chest with Brass Hardware and Storage
About the Item
A midcentury Chinese storage trunk with timeless appeal, this piece balances rustic charm with practical design. Worn, weathered, and wonderfully versatile, this mid-20th-century trunk blends rustic character with timeless practicality. Likely crafted from pine wood, its dovetail joinery and sturdy plank construction reflect traditional Chinese craftsmanship, while the later whitewashed finish adds a softened, coastal-inspired patina. The brass hardware, featuring a large front lock plate with a heart-shaped hasp, retains the essence of early Chinese storage chests, historically used for wedding dowries, travel, or personal keepsakes.
Designed for both storage and display, this trunk offers ample interior space, accessed by a hinged lid secured with metal chains. Aged brass side handles provide ease of movement, making it a functional yet decorative piece for entryways, living rooms, or even at the foot of a bed. The naturally aged wood grain peeks through the finish, lending warmth to its understated form.
Equally at home in traditional, farmhouse, or coastal interiors, this trunk works as a coffee table, blanket chest, or statement piece. Its vintage charm and authentic Chinese details make it a character-rich addition to any space.
