A wonderfully characterful 18th century provincial elm blanket chest, constructed from substantial boards with a hinged plank top and raised on shaped bracket feet.
The elm has developed a superb warm, pale honey colour with particularly attractive natural figuring, knots and burrs throughout. The top retains plenty of historic surface character, with old marks, scratches and colour variation accumulated through generations of use.
The hinged lid opens to reveal a generous storage interior, retaining its old iron strap hinges and chain stay.
A particularly decorative piece of early country furniture that would work beautifully as a blanket or linen chest, TV stand, hallway storage, bedroom storage or even as a rustic coffee table.
