FAQs

Blanket chests and coffers are among the oldest forms of domestic furniture, originally used in medieval and later periods to store valuable textiles, garments, and household goods securely before built-in wardrobes became common.

These pieces were typically constructed from native hardwoods such as elm, oak, or pine, utilizing hand-cut dovetail joints, pegged framing, and forged iron or brass hinges and lock plates.

Authenticity is identified through hand-planed timber surfaces, period-appropriate joinery, hand-forged hardware, natural oxidisation, and timber shrinkage consistent with age.

A wooden chest functions effectively as a practical storage solution and surface at the foot of a bed, in a hallway, or as a coffee table in a living room to add warmth and historical texture.

Preservation involves maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight and heat sources, and occasionally applying microcrystalline wax to nourish and protect the wooden surface.
