Anglo - Indian Blanket / Storage Box

19th century
Description

A striking Anglo-Indian blanket box, masterfully carved from richly patinated Padouk and embellished with decorative brass work. The front panel showcases a symmetrical foliate design emanating from a central urn motif, framed by scrolling vines that speak to the exuberance of traditional Indian craftsmanship. The top is adorned with pierced circular brass plates, while the corners are strengthened with shaped brackets and diamond-shaped studs. The interior is clean and retains its original candle box—a charming detail that hints at the box’s historical use and authenticity. Elegant and versatile, this piece is ideal for storing blankets, pillows, or treasured belongings at the foot of a bed. Alternatively, its warm tones and intricate carving make it a striking coffee table or decorative accent in any living space. A beautiful fusion of Indian artistry and British colonial design, it offers generous storage while serving as a captivating focal point. Whether placed in a hallway, bedroom, or drawing room, it stands as a testament to skilled craftsmanship and cultural exchange.

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.
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.
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.

Anglo-Indian furniture originated during British rule in India, combining European furniture forms with traditional Indian craftsmanship, detailed wood carving, and ornate metal fittings.

Traditional construction utilised dense tropical hardwoods such as teak, rosewood, and ebony, reinforced with hand-worked brass mounts, studs, corner brackets, and iron or brass side handles.

Authentic examples feature hand-carved foliate or floral relief panels, hand-cut mortise-and-tenon joinery, and thick, hand-hammered brass fittings showing natural surface patination.

A large Anglo-Indian chest functions well as a central coffee table, a hallway blanket box, or a decorative storage bench at the foot of a bed.

Timber surfaces require periodic applications of natural beeswax polish, while brass fittings should be dusted with a soft dry cloth to preserve historical patination without stripping the surface finish.
