This Art Deco blanket box originates from 1930 and follows the Art Deco style, constructed from mahogany, walnut, and brass with a warm brown finish. The visible details include book-matched veneer panels, diagonal band inlay on the sides, a central brass keyhole escutcheon, a lower drawer with a wooden handle flanked by attractive brass mounts, and fluted apron detailing above the feet. The top opens to reveal the main storage area, a small compartment, and a cedar-lined interior, while the drawer provides additional lower storage. Measuring 62.5 cm high, 107 cm wide, and 47 cm deep, this piece functions practically as a bedroom storage trunk or a living room blanket chest for linens and household items. The overall design incorporates straight lines and geometric wood grain patterns suitable for contemporary domestic interiors.

FAQs

Originating in the 1920s and 1930s, Art Deco blanket boxes reflect the eras focus on geometric symmetry, streamlined forms, and decorative wood veneers. Unlike earlier heavily carved Victorian coffers, Art Deco examples emphasize polished surfaces and book-matched timber grain patterns.

Craftsmen frequently utilised high-grade figure veneers such as walnut, mahogany, maple, and satinwood over sturdy timber frames. Metalwork often featured brass, bakelite, or chrome handles with subtle geometric detailing.

Authentic pieces often display period-specific joinery, such as hand-cut dovetail joints on lower drawers, alongside original lock mechanisms and natural patina on brass handles. The presence of symmetrical, book-matched veneers and subtle geometric motifs further indicates origin from the 1920s to 1930s.

Positioned at the foot of a bed or utilised as a low storage piece in a living space, an Art Deco chest introduces warmth and historical character to contemporary homes. Its clean architectural lines allow it to pair seamlessly with modern upholstered furniture.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish twice yearly along the direction of the wood grain. Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and damp environments to prevent drying, cracking, or lifting of the veneer.
