Six Board Blanket Chest with
One Drawer
(Previous | Next)
 
Boards wide enough to make a single side for a chest such as this don't grow on trees any more so we must use glued-up boards. Among the earliest American domestic furniture these appeared with as many as four drawers. They mark a transition between lidded blanket boxes and clothes presses and the case of drawers we are familiar with today. The end board on this example is cut in a simple arch.
 
Size: As shown 25" high, 32" wide, 17" deep
