FAQs

Blanket boxes have been used for centuries to store textiles, linens, and personal valuables. During the Victorian era, plain pine became widely utilised for utilitarian household furniture due to its accessibility and durability in domestic settings.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid Scots pine or deal, often featuring hand-cut dovetail joints at the corners, applied plinth bases, and simple iron or brass key escutcheons for fitted locks.

Authenticity is identified by aged patination, hand-planed timber surfaces, visible tool marks, period-appropriate joinery such as dovetailing, and historical ironmongery rather than modern machine-made fixings.

An antique chest serves well as a functional coffee table in a living room, an ottoman at the foot of a bed, or hallway storage, adding textural warmth and rustic contrast to contemporary schemes.

Preserve antique pine by keeping it away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight to prevent timber warping or cracking. Clean surfaces with a dry or lightly damp cloth and periodically nourish the wood with natural beeswax.
