Measuring 41 cm high, 96 cm wide, and 48 cm deep, this sturdy piece provides practical storage space for a home. It functions well as a blanket chest at the foot of a bed, an occasional coffee table in a living room, or a storage unit in a hallway.

FAQs

A Victorian pine blanket box is a functional wooden storage chest manufactured during the nineteenth century, traditionally placed at the foot of a bed for storing linens, woollens, and household textiles.

These boxes were constructed using solid pine boards joined at the corners with visible dovetail joints for strength, typically featuring a flat hinged lid, a simple plinth base, and iron hardware.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joinery, hand-planed interior timber, consistent age-related wear to the base, and original iron keyhole escutcheons or lock mechanisms.

Position the box at the foot of a bed for linen storage, or utilise it as a low coffee table in a living area paired with modern soft furnishings to balance the warm wood tones.

Dust regularly with a dry cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish twice yearly along the wood grain to nourish the pine and preserve the existing patina.
