This rustic 19th-century painted blue cedar blanket chest trunk features artfully applied layers of multiple blues with accents of pink that remind me of a sunset on a clear summer day. The 'C' curved feet are a distinctive Empire shape, and a delicate medallion in the front lends a feminine touch. Upon opening, the chest smells potently like fresh cedar and is impressively clean for its age. At a glance, the color and design read Swedish, but the cedar wood suggests it is more likely American-made. Leave it open to let a fresh forest scent fill the room anytime. Fit a piece of glass to the top to use as a side table or coffee table while protecting the painterly surface.
