Carved Blanket Chest Made From Mango Wood

This carved blanket chest is made from sustainable mango wood combining traditional Indian craftsmanship with environmentally conscious materials. This is not an antique; the piece has much of the character and texture of older Indian furniture.

The front is particularly decorative, with deeply carved floral rosettes and scrolling foliate motifs extending across the entire panel. A softly washed finish highlights the depth of the carving and natural grain of the timber, while the chest stands on four shaped block feet.

The hinged lid opens to reveal a large, practical storage compartment, with a chain fitted to support the lid when open. At 122 cm wide, the chest is an excellent size for use as a coffee table with hidden storage, or as a blanket and linen box at the end of a double or king-size bed.

Using mango wood is a sustainable hardwood valued for its strength and durability. The combination makes this an environmentally friendly and practical piece of furniture designed for everyday use.
