Early 20th Century Oak Blanket Box Mule Chest with Drawer Carved Jacobean Style

Early 20th century English carved oak blanket box (also called a mule chest or coffer) with a drawer, in the Jacobean style.

This chest has a hinged lid that opens to a generous storage space, ideal for blankets, bedding, linen, toys or games. The front has a carved frieze of scrolling foliate decoration above two plain panels divided by a central upright.

Below is a full-width drawer with moulded edging and two decorative drop ring handles in an antique brass finish with ornate backplates. 

The wood is a warm, medium golden brown with attractive oak grain, and the lid overhangs the body slightly.
