Tennessee Antique American Hand Built Primitive Blanket Chest Relic Cow Feeder
Located in Atlanta, GA
Yes. You read that correctly. This is an antique American mid to late 19th century Tennessee hand built primitive blanket chest relic which served as a trough for a cow. I'll be the first (maybe) to tell you that antique dealers can spin a yarn. The dealer from whom I purchased this table - quick side note for a joke... 'there's two antique dealers on a deserted island - business is great' - told me this tale. "So Heather (that's me) I bought this chest from the great grandson who told me that one day his great grand ma asked his great grand pa for a blanket chest. The grand pa went out into their property, cut down a tree and made this for her. Later they used it to hold the feed for their cow." Not exactly Wordsworth, but it's a tale nonetheless. I bought because, well, have you looked at those lines? The wear? The silhouette? Seriously, this is a beautiful piece of rustic American primitive furniture...

Vintage, New and Antique Blanket Chests
Antique and vintage blanket chests go by many names. You may have heard them called hope chests, dowry chests or Lane cedar chests, with the latter referring to the now-famous case pieces manufactured by the Lane Furniture company.
No matter the name, these were initially large crude wooden boxes with hinged lids where you stowed away your blankets, household linens and possibly some valuables. Everyone can always use a bit more storage in our bedrooms or guest bedrooms, and blanket chests can be a stylish solution to help you stay organized, particularly if you’re short on closet space.
Blanket storage trunks are still typically equipped with hinges on their lids for easy access to their large storage capacity. They’re often rectangular pieces, but in the hands of today’s furniture designers, contemporary blanket chests take on many shapes and are made of varying materials. Most antique blanket chests are made out of wood, from rich mahogany to oak.
Find a wide range of antique, new and vintage blanket chests available for sale on 1stDibs.
