Beautifully crafted and rich in authentic character, our Antique Victorian Oak Blanket Box | Bernadette is a genuine nineteenth-century piece that combines practical storage with timeless craftsmanship. Handcrafted from solid oak, this elegant antique blanket box also serves beautifully as a storage chest or traditional blanket chest, showcasing richly figured timber, hand-cut dovetail construction and original iron strapwork that has mellowed gracefully with age.

The substantial solid oak lid opens to reveal generous concealed storage, while the original working lock and key add both charm and functionality. Warm honey-brown oak, naturally softened edges and a beautifully developed patina reflect generations of careful use, giving this piece an authenticity that simply cannot be replicated in newly made furniture.

Wonderfully versatile, this Victorian blanket box works equally well at the foot of a bed, as a characterful coffee table, hallway storage chest or elegant living room storage piece. Its clean proportions and understated design allow the beauty of the antique oak to take centre stage while offering practical everyday storage for blankets, linens, cushions and household essentials.

As a genuine Victorian antique, every mark tells part of its story. Historic surface wear, age-related character and a small historic burn mark to the top all form part of its unique history, adding to the individuality and authenticity of this one-of-a-kind piece.

Condition

Please note that this is a genuine Victorian antique and not a newly manufactured item. Signs of age, historic use and sympathetic repairs are to be expected and form part of its authenticity and charm.

Surface wear, old marks, knocks, scratches, natural timber movement and variations in colour are all consistent with a piece of this age. The top also displays a small historic burn mark, which we believe contributes to the honest character and provenance of the piece.

We make every effort to photograph and describe our antiques accurately. However, every antique is entirely individual and will naturally display the beautiful patina and irregularities acquired over many decades of use.
