A wonderful mid-century vintage blanket chest manufactured in Hanover, Ontario, by Knechtels Limited under license for the famous Lane Company, blending classic American cedar chest craftsmanship with distinct Canadian manufacturing history.
The exterior showcases gorgeous bookmatched veneer chevron patterns flanked by a striking carved vertical faux-bamboo central molding detail, resting gracefully on a scalloped plinth base.
Opens to reveal a delightfully aromatic, natural red cedar lining that provides timeless protection for woolens and linens, complete with an original felt-lined upper accessory tray that automatically lifts upon opening.
Features the iconic Lane burnt-wood branding and tree logo alongside the historic "Made in Canada by Knechtels Limited, Hanover, Ontario" stamp, plus interior patent dates spanning from 1931 through 1949.
Condition Assessment: Fair-to-good vintage condition overall, retaining rich wood grain and full structural integrity, though showing expected surface wear, scuffs on the top lid, and notable veneer chipping/loss along the lower front edge of the base.
