Know before you buy

Yes, the turned feet are original to this 1870-1890 blanket box. They are a signature design element of the period and remain structurally sound.
The box measures 48 inches wide by 21.5 inches deep and 22 inches high, offering substantial interior volume. It is well-suited for storing bulky items like extra blankets, linens, or seasonal keepsakes.
