Late 19th century Chinese red lacquer blanket chest with rattan top. These chests were often used for storage in homes, particularly for bedding and textiles, combining functionality with aesthetic appeal. The sturdy wooden construction and meticulous attention to detail highlight the chest’s dual role as both a practical household item and a decorative piece. The chest shows wear consistent with its age and use, and one hinge does not have its original metal pin. Small hole in rattan in one spot. Width: 37 in / Depth: 25 in / Height: 19.5 in
