Antique 19th Century Dovetailed Pine Blanket Chest

$1,050.00

Offered is this antique dovetailed pine blanket chest with drawer. It is nice and clean, and has no odors to speak of. It's dovetailed on all 4 corners, and one large dovetail on upper back. The drawer is also dovetailed as it should be.

This chest presents really well. Appears to have been somewhere refinished, or at least stained in the past. Has old iron lock set, which looks original (no key). The hand forged hinges look to be original, based on the outline on the lid interior, though they are missing a few screws. The lid to the till inside is not present. The beehive feet don't appear to be original, largely due to how they are mounted on the underside (see photos). They look good, but some unfortunate liberty was taken with the installation. The drawer front has some wear on the front edges, likely from use. Based on everything we see, it was well used through the years, and retains much of the original charm.

From a Lansford, PA estate, and certainly could be an actual Pennsylvania made blanket chest.
