Large Antique Cedar Lined Blanket Chest

Description

Impressive large antique storage chest featuring a solid wood exterior reinforced with hand-forged style iron strap hardware and a cedar lined interior. The interior boards display the rich reddish tones and distinctive grain patterns characteristic of aromatic cedar, traditionally used to protect textiles from moisture and insects.The domed lid and substantial proportions give the piece a strong early American presence, while the iron hinges and original style lock plate add authentic period character. The exterior shows a warm aged patina with visible wear consistent with age and use, enhancing its rustic appeal.Likely dating to the late 19th or early 20th century, this versatile piece would have functioned as a blanket chest, hope chest, or general household storage trunk.PLEASE NOTE: In-House Shipping is not available for this lot. 3rd Party Delivery or Local Pick-Up Only.
