Lincoln Restorations has dated this piece to the 17th Century.
A primitive blanket chest from the early 1800's.
We bring to you an excellent original condition early Georgian C1800 blanket chest coffer. This charming chest is primitively made from solid Oak with handmade whittled dowel construction.
The chest opens revealing its chain lid stay and iron strap hinges which have at some point in its long life have been replaced. This chest is original with lots of patina and charm which shows it's history and usage but has had historic restoration previously and we suspsect that the carving has been added later (very common in Victorian times). We have just cleaned and waxed this chest to give it a lustrous natural sheen and preserve and protect the item for many more years to come.
The chest is very clean and does not have any signs of woodworm which is unusual with an item of this age and is ready for its new home for storing blankets or to be used as general mass storage.
Please note; This item is in very good condition for its age but will obviously have the odd slight blemishes and here and there, however, we feel that this adds to the charm and authenticity of the item with it being antique.
