Here's a very nice little Victorian pine flat top blanket box, or blanket chest. It features metal carrying handles on both ends and is in lovely condition for its age. Originally painted, it has since been stripped and is now in bare wood.

The main lock is no longer working, which is common for pieces of this age, but it retains its original penny end strap hinges at the back. Inside, there’s a charming small candle box with a working lock and key.

The piece is neat and tidy all around, including the back, so it could easily be placed in the centre of a room if desired.

The price is £290 as it is, or £327 if you’d like it waxed.

Height 19", width 37", depth 18" (front to back).
