ADRIANCE HEIRLOOM SEA CHESTS & BLANKET CHESTS

Adriance Heirloom Sea Chests and Blanket Chests are handmade to last for generations using the time-honored construction methods of authentic Mortise & Tenon Joinery and Hand-sawn Dovetails, as found in Early American timber-frame houses. One-board, figured drawer fronts are accented with wood knobs. Drawer sides of seasonally stable straight-grain wood are joined with hand-sawn and chiseled dovetails. Beautiful wide-boards of native cherry and tiger maple are chosen to create highly-figured, matched-grain tops, drawer fronts and cases. We select the best lumber from sawmills recognized by the Forest Stewardship Council for sustainable forestry. Adriance signed heirlooms are hand-finished with several coats of water-resistant tung oil yacht varnish, then waxed and hand-rubbed to a lustrous satin patina, requiring no upkeep. To assure genuine authenticity for discerning clients, our distinctive Starwheel trademark is hand-carved into each artform. Click photo for description and pricing.
