Lot 58: An Art Deco Style Mahogany Finished Blanket Chest

This early 20th-century storage chest, designed in the Art Deco style, is constructed from mahogany-stained hardwood. The rectangular form features a front panel embellished with three applied horizontal wooden strips and a centrally located ornate metal pull knob. The piece is characteristic of mid-century ‘hope chests’ or blanket trunks, which were commonly cedar-lined, resembling the designs produced by manufacturers such as Ed Roos or Lane. The cabinet is supported by small castor feet. No maker’s marks or labels are visible in the provided image.
