M 539 J Blanket chest

Description:
The original  Heywood-Wakefield M 539 Encore Blanket Chests were only produced from 1952 to 1953.  They are quite rare and something of a holy grail for collectors today.

Now you can own a new production of this classic item, shown here in our Amber finish, that's is true to the original except that it's 3.5'' taller. This provides more storage space, with today's comforters made thicker than their 1950s counterparts. Also, it's a comfortable seating height, and it props the mirror up higher (after all, Americans are, on average, taller today than in the mid-century years).

The optional M 575 X Full-Length Body Mirror frame is an exceptional accompaniment. The high-grade birch frame easily attaches to the chest, adding another attractive, useful element.

Dimensions:

• Blanket Chest: 35.5” W x 17.5” H x 15.5” D
• Mirror Kit: 35.5" W x 51.5" H

A note about the mirror:

We provide only the mirror frame and mounting kit, without the glass. You receive the 51.5'' x 35.5'' solid birch frame with Amber finish, a plywood backing panel attached with screws, two solid wood uprights measuring 66" x 3.5" x 7/8" to attach the frame to the chest, and mounting screws.  The frame takes a 3/4'' plate glass mirror. We can ship the frame to a glass shop of your choosing.
