Following the shapely curves of French Empire style furniture, this wicker blanket chest is a lovely accompaniment in bedrooms, sitting areas or hallways. Roll-top arms, pairing with sleigh side supports, add serpentine profiling accentuated by the artful weaving of natural rattan reed in complementing patterns that include repeating diamonds as a focal point. The wood-frame interior is lined to protect heirloom quilts and other fine bedding. In a guest bedroom, under a sunny window or in living areas, this traditional style lends a romantic touch with four finish choices that include a vintage white wash and antiqued brown. A lift lid with sturdy hinging provides a snug fit to help keep out dust.
