This particular chest had been in the possession of various Pennsylvania families from the time it was made during the first half of the 19th century until the moment we were fortune enough to purchase it. As with nearly all of the antique blanket boxes we have owned which were built for Pennsylvania households this chest is grander and far superior in construction to similar examples made outside of the Pennsylvania region. This chest is masterfully dovetailed with six solid tulip poplar primary boards used to form the body of the chest. This dovetail work is most notable on the underside and on the single backboard of the chest with each of the boards baring the joinery markings of the original craftsman along with centuries of natural oxidation which fully demonstrates the true age of the piece. The interior of the chest features a pair of barrel hinges along with the original locking mechanism and a full size candle till which opens up for candle storage and can prop the lid open when the lid of the candle till is opened and the lid of the blanket box is leaning downward upon it. less
