A sugar chest, unlike a blanket chest is smaller and has a small drawer or cabinet - this one has both. These held utensils or other items.

This chest makes a lovely storage piece and is a nice height to be used as a server when closed.

It is clearly hand-made and very old. It appears it may have been refinished in a Hitchcock style design many years ago - but I’m not sure as I’ve left it in its original condition.

The lower back panel has been replaced with modern wood. All other pieces appear to be original including the integral drawer pull.

She is beautifully chippy reveling in her age. I have not seen one like her and most did not survive the 100+years.

According to my research, sugar chests hail from the 1700-1800s. less
