Attractive Large Antique Victorian Pine Kist Chest Storage Trunk Blanket Toy Box

19th century
For Sale by Abacus Antiques
Description

Attractive large antique Victorian pine kist chest blanket box.

A lovely large antique Victorian pine kist chest. We date this kist to the second half of the 19th century.

The chest sits on a slightly protruding plain plinth base.

There is light writing to the inside edge of the lid for a previous owner - 'Lizzie McConnachie, 21 Queen Street, Dufftown'.

The kist comprises a large rear hinged lidded box.

It has been upholstered in a light green patterned material at some point in its life.

The interior has a large open space with a small shelf and drawer to the left hand side.

The kist has a lock fitted, no key is supplied and the material covers the lock opening.

The kist has a height of 20.5" (52cm), a width of 36" (92cm) and a depth of 20.5" (52cm).

This lovely pine kist remains in very solid condition with only minor surface markings commensurate with age and usage. There is a slight amount of wear and marks to the material from past use, primarily at the corners.

This remains a very stylish and functional pine kist which would function well as a toy storage box or a linen chest etc. It will continue to provide good service for many years to come.

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.

Victorian blanket boxes were functional storage chests used in nineteenth-century homes to keep bed linens, quilts, and seasonal garments protected from dust. Often made of solid pine or oak, many were upholstered or painted to serve double duty as seating in bedrooms and hallway spaces.

These items typically feature a carcass crafted from solid pine or softwood, padded with horsehair, straw, or cotton felt, and covered in woven wool, damask, or jacquard fabrics with decorative braided trim along the edges.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints on the internal corners, hand-planed softwood timber, original iron or brass strap hinges, and natural wear to the base consistent with age.

Position the box at the foot of a bed as an end-of-bed bench, or set it in a living area to function as a soft coffee table alternative that provides concealed storage.

Vacuum the fabric gently using a soft brush attachment to prevent dust accumulation, keep the item away from direct sunlight to reduce fading, and clean minor surface spots with a dry textile cleaner.
