Mahogany Box

19th century
Description

A charming mahogany storage box with dovetailed joints to the front and back, and lifting handles to either side that echo the handles on the internal lids. The main lid opens to reveal two zinc‑lined compartments with fitted lids, offering generous and practical storage. The box has a lovely warm colour and good patina, with historic knocks, marks, cracks and scratches as expected from functional antique furniture — all adding to its character and authenticity.

Internal Reference: SAI2560

Strictly Vetted Dealers

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.

Secure Transit

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.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

Originating as essential domestic storage in the 18th and 19th centuries, mahogany blanket boxes and coffers were constructed to store heavy linens, bedding, and personal valuables, often featuring robust side handles to facilitate transport.

These boxes were constructed using solid mahogany timber, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints at the corners, brass carrying handles, steel or brass hinges, and a fitted lock mechanism.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joinery, irregular tool marks on the interior or underside, natural patination on the wood finish, and period-correct brass hardware with age-appropriate oxidisation.

An antique coffer can be positioned at the foot of a bed for linen storage, placed in an entryway as a decorative bench, or used as a central coffee table in a living room.

Clean the surface regularly with a soft dry cloth, apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually along the wood grain, and position the chest away from direct heat sources or damp environments.
