Discover the timeless charm and practical elegance of the antique blanket box collection at The Antique Reproduction Shop. Whether you’re looking to enhance your home’s interior with a touch of colonial, georgian, or victorian design—or seeking versatile storage solutions for your bedroom, living room, or hallway—our range of vintage and antique-style blanket boxes is crafted to combine historical beauty with modern functionality.

Each blanket box in our curated collection pays homage to classic craftsmanship, using high-quality materials like solid oak, cedar, camphorwood, and teakwood to ensure durability and authenticity. These storage chests are more than furniture—they are pieces of art with stories, ideal for housing linens, bedding, costume accessories, or precious memorabilia.

The Heritage of Antique Blanket Boxes

Originally known as a coffer or cassone, the blanket box has long been a staple in English, European, and American households. Whether placed at the foot of the bed or under a window seat, it served as secure storage for household items, wedding linens, or treasured artefacts.

Today, The Antique Reproduction Shop offers antique and reproduction blanket boxes inspired by centuries of design, including:

• Victorian blanket boxes with carved details and ornate brass hardware

• Georgian cedar chests with smooth, elegant lines and bracket feet

• Colonial-style camphorwood chests that emit a beautiful natural aroma

• French provincial painted blanket boxes for a softer, vintage finish

• Baroque and gothic-inspired boxes with detailed carvings and metalware fittings

Each piece is selected for its authentic style, build quality, and ability to blend with both antique furniture and modern interiors.

Functional & Stylish Storage

An antique blanket box isn’t just beautiful—it’s incredibly practical. Use it as:

• Bed-end storage for blankets, quilts, or pillows

• A charming coffee table with hidden storage

• An elegant hall bench in the entryway

• A secure space for jewellery, cutlery, or costume items

• A unique TV stand or display chest in your living area

With options including lidded tops, panelled fronts, brass handles, and lockable lids, our blanket boxes suit a variety of needs and spaces. Many of our pieces also feature dovetail joints, hand-carved ornamentation, and aged patinas that reflect the design eras from which they are inspired.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Our collection includes pieces made from prized timbers such as:

• Solid cedar – valued for its fragrance and durability

• Camphorwood – traditionally used in Asian and anglo-indian antiques

• Oak and teak – often found in English, continental, and scandinavian furniture

• Pine – lightweight and perfect for painted or distressed finishes

Whether you’re drawn to the rich grains of alabaster-stained oak or the warm blonde finish of Australian timbers, each blanket box is a tribute to historical design techniques and furniture-making artistry.
