A Georgian Extra Wide Antique Pine Waxed Blanket Box

18th century
Description

This box is in good condition. We have professionally stripped and restored it and waxed it in a lovely antique brown bri wax.

This box would look well in an old or modern property in any room for any type of storage purpose amongst similar antique pine furniture.

This box stands on georgian bracket feet supporting the main section. There are four dummy drawers. The dummy drawers have brass drop handles. There is a small lift up lid to the front and a large fixed back section where one could place a tv on top. The dimensions of this section are 25.5cm deep and 171cm wide. This should fit the bracket feet of a tv on. There are two storage compartments below the lid. You will have to be a proper old pine lover for this as it is proper old and proper rusty!

The height is 81cm, the width is 171cm and the depth is 54cm.

Delivery Terms

WE OFFER FREE DELIVERY TO ENGLAND, WALES, AND SCOTLAND (BELOW PERTH)

Shipping /delivery is equally as important to us as the item of furniture itself. It is simple; we deliver everything personally in England / Wales so this way we are 100% sure that the item / furniture reaches our customers safe and sound. We NEVER use couriers. Delivery is generally within 7-14 days of purchase. We guarantee delivery anywhere in England / Wales within 21 days of purchase.

Deliveries to Scotland as far north as Perth are guaranteed within 6 weeks of purchase. If delivery is required above Perth in Scotland please contact James on 07957 392 074 or

james@davidhuntantiques.com for a price.

Deliveries are either carried out by David or James as one member of the team is required to stay in the warehouse, therefore we do require assistance from the van into your hallway with the item of furniture. We have set delivery days and once the van is loaded (a day prior to delivery) David will call customers to arrange a two hour delivery time slot. Customers will also receive a text when delivery is 30 minutes away.

It is really helpful if customers can provide their ‘what3words’ location to make delivery as smooth

as possible, especially properties in rural locations.

Ireland Deliveries

We do use a very good courier company called DVM Service to deliver goods to Ireland. We ask the customer to pay this company direct for the delivery charge and we then liaise with DVM regarding collection of a customer’s item of furniture to be shipped to Ireland.

Europe & Rest of the World

We do not ship to Europe or the Rest of the World.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Originating in the 18th and early 19th centuries, blanket boxes and mule chests were essential storage items in Georgian households, primarily constructed to hold linens, textiles, and clothing. Larger examples featured lower drawers beneath the main lid storage area to separate smaller garments from heavier bedding.

These chests were typically crafted from solid Scots pine or pitch pine joined with hand-cut dovetails. Hardware included iron strap hinges, lock plates, and cast brass drop handles or swan-neck handles fixed with split pins.

Authentic pieces display irregular hand-cut dovetail joints, original saw marks on hidden surfaces, and natural timber shrinkage over time. Look for genuine oxidisation around ironwork and authentic wear patterns on the base and corners.

A large pine blanket box functions as functional storage at the foot of a bed, inside a wide entrance hallway, or placed behind a sofa. Its warm wood tones contrast effectively against contemporary neutral paint schemes and simple modern upholstery.

Maintain the surface by applying a high-quality beeswax paste once or twice a year to preserve the natural patina. Avoid placing the chest directly adjacent to central heating radiators or in direct sunlight to prevent timber movement and splitting.
