With our highest compliments and utmost honors Bay Colony Antiques is proud to offer for sale this exceptional 18th century antique Queen Anne pumpkin pine blanket box with boot jack ends. The chest exhibits nice proportions with nice scrolling patterns at the feet. The box is crafted from old growth New England pine that’s developed a warm patina over the years. The chest has two drawers with dovetailed construction and hand chamfered bottoms. The box retains it's old original iron lock but the upper hasp is missing. We have a few blanket chests being offered for sale at the moment and are beyond excited to add this early & rare American treasure alongside a few choice others. My brother and I hand select each item we offer to our clients and anything that doesn't make the cut we simply pass off to auctions & a few other retail outlets. We've been backlogged with inventory the last couple of months and are working around the clock to get everything processed in a more timely manner. Our primary warehouse was stuffed so we kept dropping things at our auxiliary facility and when we went over the other day and we were surrounded by a good 40/50 quality antiques we need to process. The box measures 39” wide x 19” deep x 44” tall. The interior is lined with old paper & measures 36” wide x 16 1/2” deep x 15” tall. When the lid is fully open the height is 61 1/2”.
