19th c. 1800s Primitive Red Stained Painted Blanket Storage Trunk Bench

 

Antique primitive blanket trunk dating from the late 1800's, early 2oth c in very good condition. Has it's original red stained finish. Beautiful trunk for winter storage out in the hall, doubles as a bench, storage in the kitchen or the bedroom for root veggies and winter blankets. Also would be a great box for kindling next to the fireplace. Blanket trunks are very popular as coffee tables in cottage style homes.

The inside is very clean, small crack on the bottom of the trunk. Trunk also has many scratches, nicks and the lid does not quite close on one side due to the expansion and shrinkage that wood goes through as it ages, to be expected on an item this old. There is a small piece of wood missing from the lower molding in one spot.
