FAQs

An antique blanket chest, also referred to as a coffer or blanket box, is a rectangular storage vessel with a hinged lid historically designed to store household linens, bedding, and textiles. Originating in domestic interiors prior to modern fitted wardrobes, these chests were widely produced throughout the 18th and 19th centuries.

Traditional blanket chests were built from solid native hardwoods such as elm, oak, pine, or walnut. Construction typically featured hand-cut dovetail joints, thick timber planks, iron side carrying handles, brass keyhole escutcheons, and moulded bases.

Authentic 19th-century chests show evidence of hand tool marks on internal surfaces, irregular hand-cut dovetails, and original period hardware. The timber naturally displays surface patination, shrinkage lines consistent with age, and original iron or brass fixings.

A blanket chest functions effectively as a low coffee table in a living area, at the foot of a bed for secondary storage, or along an entryway hallway. Combining the natural timber tone with contemporary textured fabrics creates a balanced design scheme.

Maintain the timber surface by dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth and applying clear beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the wood grain. Position the piece away from direct heat radiators and direct sunlight to avoid timber movement or drying.
