Born on the island of Madura off of the northeastern coast of Java, this exquisite blanket chest attracts our attention with its contrasting colors and skillfully executed decor. Featuring a rectangular lid with large nailheads, opening thanks to a metal latch to reveal a convenient storage space, the chest is adorned with a striking gilt floral hand carved decor, standing out beautifully on its red and brown ground.
Presenting lateral C-scroll handles, the chest is raised on four exquisite scrolling feet, connected to one another through a carved apron in the front. With its refined floral motifs and contrasting colors, this 19th century Javanese blanket chest will be an undeniable focal point in any home, particularly in a bedroom or living room.
