France / 16th century / bridal or blanket chest / oak / Gothic
This impressive chest was hand-carved in solid oak in the 16th century in France. The construction is typical of very early European furniture. The front panel has rich hand carved Gothic geometric patterns. The chest closes with a lid and its original forged hinges, the key is not available.
Chests of this type belong to the earliest surviving examples of European furniture and are very rare today. Made entirely from solid oak, the chest features a warm, dark brown tone with a beautifully aged patina.
These chests were typically commissioned by wealthy bourgeois households, affluent merchants, or members of the nobility. They were used to store valuable linens, garments, documents, and other important possessions, both for daily use and for safekeeping during travel or household moves.
This rare large chest tells a story of craftsmanship and tradition. Its spacious interior provides ample storage for blankets, toys, or treasured keepsakes, while the secure lid ensures your belongings are safely tucked away. Whether used as a decorative accent in your living room or as a stylish storage solution this chest is unique statement of style.

Long circa 1800 Gothic Style Oak Board Trunk from France
Located in Dallas, TX
This is an unusually long Gothic style trunk from France, measuring nearly 6.5 feet long. It is carved from thick oak planks, and it dates to circa 1800.
