Lot 20: Old Charm Carved Oak Blanket Chest by Wood Bros

A panelled oak blanket chest constructed in a traditional Tudor-revival style. The chest features a rectangular hinged lid with a moulded edge, supported internally by two wooden cleats. The front is decorated with five vertical panels: three alternating panels featuring carved linenfold decoration set within rounded arches, and two recessed rectangular panels. The piece is raised on four square-section stiles that form the feet. The interior provides a single open storage compartment with visible secondary wood panels on the reverse and base. The lid is secured by two black-finished metal T-hinges. An adhesive diamond-shaped metal label is fixed to the underside of the lid; it features an image of a Tudor-style building and text that reads: OLD CHARM Furniture GUARANTEED WOOD BROS WARE HERTS. The lid also has two green circular felt pads applied to the front corners of the underside.
