Swedish 19th Century Painted Pine Blanket Chest
Made in Sweden around 1850, this blanket chest is constructed in pine with a slightly domed top and a hand-painted finish. Painted pine chests of this kind were a staple of Swedish country furniture, used for the storage of textiles, linens, and household goods. The hand-painted decoration, characteristic of Scandinavian folk furniture, gives the chest its decorative character, while the slightly domed lid is a traditional feature of the form. The pine construction is sturdy and practical, built for everyday domestic use. Suited to placement at the foot of a bed, in a hall, or in a living room, the chest provides generous storage while serving as a decorative object. The painted surface and country form suit both traditional and plainer modern interiors. As a functional and characterful piece, it offers concealed storage and a display surface, with the hand-painted decoration giving it folk-art appeal.
