An exceptional piece of Canadian furniture history, this vintage cedar-lined blanket chest was manufactured by The North American Bent Chair Co. Ltd. out of Owen Sound, Ontario (Model No. 6002½). This stunning piece features its original interior paper label detailing an impressive, globally sourced selection of decorative rare woods and unique figuring.
The exterior showcases a highly detailed, book-matched veneer front with an elegant carved scroll trim, beaded lower molding, and striking carved ball-and-claw feet. The interior is fully lined with pristine, aromatic solid cedar that has been incredibly well-preserved, retaining its original rich coloration and grain pattern.
Condition
Interior: Excellent, clean condition. The cedar is exceptionally well-preserved with sharp, clear grain and strong natural aroma. Original paper manufacturer tags are intact.
Exterior: Vintage, pre-owned condition showing surface wear consistent with age. Notable scuffing, finish wear, and scratches on the top lid surface and along the front edges. Features a front keyhole (key is not included, latch mechanism is untested/as-is). Perfect candidate for light restoration or beautiful as a character-rich statement piece.
