Dark-stained wooden chest or blanket box

A rectangular wooden storage chest or blanket box with a flat lid and simple, utilitarian construction. The piece has a dark stained finish with visible wood grain, especially on the top surface, and plain side panels. The design appears functional rather than highly decorative, suggesting it may have been used as a blanket chest, toy chest, or general storage trunk. No maker's mark, hardware details, or interior view are visible in the image, limiting precise identification.

Storage chests and blanket boxes were common household furnishings in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, valued for practical storage before built-in closets became widespread. This example appears to represent that utilitarian domestic tradition.
