There are many wood artisans who like to create new styles of blanket chests, also known in some parts of the country as hope chests. Some have used old stylings to come up with new ideas. Art Nouveau is one style that has lent itself very easily to the creation of blanket chests with a smooth flowing line rather than the blanket box square treatment. This style has also been used as an outside design element with its smooth interlocking flowing method. Flowers and vines flowing together have made very plain blanket chests into beautiful ones. This is usually done with the design added to the top of the wood so that it creates a three dimensional effect. By also using different shades and types of wood, you would not feel the need to color your design with paint or use different shades of stain. Your design would be able to stand out with the wood grain and color emphasizing the floral design.
Sulfur inlay for designs is a method that was used many years ago. Many seventeenth and eighteenth-century Pennsylvania made furniture, especially blanket chests,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], were decorated with sulfur inlay. This was done by first carving out a shallow decorative design into the hope chests using very sharp wood chisels. From there, molten sulfur was carefully poured into the incisions. This material was a creamy ivory in coloration. Along with the sulfur inlay used in their beautiful designs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], ivory, shell, contrasting colored wood and bone were additional materials placed into the wood chiseled incisions. This inlay was very fine in detail so that all of the designs created were very sophisticated in appearance. This method style is not used very often in present day. It is mainly one that is used by artisans wishing to recreate blanket chests from times past. These reproduction hope chests are constructed using the exact same handcraft skills and methods.
Detailed painted designs are another favorite way to add distinctiveness to blanket chests. Hex designs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which are symbols meant to bring good luck to households by preventing evils spirits from entering,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], are a charming and nostalgic addition to hope chests. These beautiful designs of German origin are easily recognized favorites.
