A substantial mid-century blanket box constructed from solid oak, offering generous storage and timeless design.

The chest features a large lift-up lid opening to a spacious interior, ideal for storing blankets, bedding, cushions or other household items. Beneath is a full-width drawer providing additional storage and helping to maximise practicality.

The box is fitted with rope handles to each side and stands on four stylish turned and tapered feet, giving it a distinctive mid-century appearance.

Presented in nice vintage condition overall, with some marks, fading and age-related wear to the top surface consistent with age and use. The chest remains strong, sturdy and fully functional. There are locks fitted to both the lid and drawer, although no key is present.

A versatile piece that would work equally well in a bedroom or living room, providing both storage and character.
