A Cute Lovely Waxed Antique / Old Pine Victorian Box

19th century
Description

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

This box would look well in an old or modern property amongst similar antique pine decorative furniture at the foot of a bed in the middle of a living room for a coffee table or in a corner of a living room to place a TV on top.

This box stands on a square plinth supporting the main section. There are four sides. The ends have their original brass carry handles. There is a lift up lid with plenty of storage space inside. The top is in good condition with a bull nosed edge.There is a candle box inside to the left. The lid is on its original metal hinges.

The height is 43cm, the width is 85cm and the depth is 50cm.

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.

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.

During the Victorian era, wooden storage chests and blanket boxes were primary storage solutions in British homes for bed linens, textiles, and clothing. Often crafted from local softwoods by village joiners, these practical pieces were designed for durability and ease of access in domestic settings.

Traditional pine chests were typically constructed using hand-cut dovetail joints, solid pine board panels, and heavy plinth or bracket bases. Hardware usually included wrought iron or cast brass drop handles on the sides to facilitate moving the chest, along with simple iron hinges and rim locks.

Authentic nineteenth-century pine boxes show signs of hand-planing on interior or rear surfaces, original iron or brass fixings with hand-cut screws, and genuine wear around the base and corners. Shrinking in the wood grain over time often produces small gaps or natural character marks unique to period timber.

A pine blanket box functions effectively positioned at the foot of a bed for extra storage or placed in a living room as an accent coffee table. The warm natural timber tones complement neutral colour palettes, linen textiles, and contemporary minimalist schemes.

To preserve a waxed finish, dust the surface regularly with a dry, lint-free cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax paste once or twice a year. Avoid placing liquid directly on the wood, and keep the chest away from direct heat sources to prevent the timber from drying out or splitting.
