Pieces such as this work particularly well in bedrooms, hallways, or living spaces, where their aged oak tones and handcrafted character help create a more lived-in and welcoming f eel. This antique oak blanket box features traditional panelled sides and a decorative carved frieze beneath the lid, along with original ironwork hinges and clasp detailing that add to its period charm. The substantial proportions and deep storage space make it ideal for blankets, linens, or general household storage. Being a handmade piece, the construction is not perfectly uniform in shape, which adds to its authenticity and individuality. The oak displays plenty of natural variation and aged character throughout, giving the piece a genuine rustic appearance. The previous darker finish has been carefully stripped back, and multiple coats of hard-wearing matte lacquer have been applied, helping to protect the oak while enhancing the depth of the natural grain and aged patina. Due to the age of the piece, it has taken knocks, marks, and wear over time, all of which remain visible and contribute to its character and history. These aged imperfections can be seen in the photographs and tell the story of a long working life and years of use. This item is made entirely from solid oak. Full of character and practical appeal, this blanket box offers useful storage alongside a strong sense of craftsmanship and age. Its honest wear and handmade construction give it a presence that newer pieces often lack. [dimensions] [w]112[/w] [h]57[/h] [d]45[/d] [/dimensions] Show more
