An Edwardian Solid Oak Blanket Chest

A handsome Edwardian solid oak blanket chest dating from the early 20th century, crafted in the Jacobean Revival style from solid oak throughout. Featuring raised fielded panels to all four sides, this is an attractive freestanding piece that can be positioned anywhere in a room. The moulded top and base are enhanced with decorative bead-and-reel moulding, giving the chest a refined architectural appearance. The hinged lid opens to reveal a generous storage compartment, ideal for blankets, bed linen, toys, logs or general household storage. The lid is fitted with a support stay for safe and convenient opening. Its compact proportions make it a particularly versatile piece, equally suited to a bedroom, hallway, sitting room or at the foot of a bed.

Condition: Presented in good antique condition with a lovely warm oak patina and age-related wear consistent with its age. There is a small section of decorative beading missing from the rear of the chest, which does not detract from its appearance in use as it is not visible from the front. The chest remains solid, sturdy and ready for everyday use.
