The lovely hand-painted were a traditional folk art design of the era set against a brown faux wood finish, adding a comforting feel to this chest. Generations of use are revealed in the distress to the paint, worn down in many sections revealing the natural pine wood below. Along the top, a residual faded central border remains.
Also visible are multiple signs of use and wear to top including scratches, gouges, cracks, an old repair, signs of dried wormholes and more. Similar signs of wear and distress are seen throughout, including dried old wormholes that are no longer active. Age-related separations (which appear as cracks) are seen along sides, top and back.
This large pine chest of drawers has been restored; a wax finish adds a soft luster to the piece, and the three drawers function with two brass pulls each. The top drawer has a small box that runs along the upper left side. This blanket chest is solid, stable and functional, including drawers.
All scratches, cracks, dings, dried old worm holes, and age related separation are reflective of age and do not detract from the beauty nor function of this special hand painted chest. Many sections especially around the top and bottom edges, corners and feet show more wear, cracks and distress.
