Enjoy the festive spirit of Christmastime all year long with snowflake carvings in the tulip poplar front and back, highlighted in white milk paint on a background of bayberry green, contrasting nicely with the bookmatched cherry crotch laminates on the ends and the laminated cherry legs. The gentle curved hardwood laminations that make up the Blanket Chest are from local Chesapeake Bay trees that have fallen in storms or were dying and given new life. The finely finished shellac polish on the cherry is a joy to touch. Open the blanket chest on its fine brass hardware and take in the soothing aroma of the red cedar laminations on the inner walls.
