Mid Century Modern Walnut Cedar Trunk Box By Lane, c 1960's

Description: This Mid Century Modern walnut trunk box by Lane Furniture pairs practical storage with the warm, expressive character of American modernist design. The streamlined case is elevated on tapered legs and distinguished by richly figured walnut panels surrounding a geometric, patchwork-style center panel that adds texture and visual interest. Opening the hinged top reveals a spacious aromatic cedar-lined interior, complemented by metal hinges and lid-support hardware for functional everyday storage. The restrained silhouette, sculptural wood grain, and contrasting panel arrangement give the piece a handsome architectural quality characteristic of 1960's design. Its generous interior makes it equally suitable for storing blankets, linens, or other household items while serving as an attractive accent piece.

Fun Historical Fact

Lane Furniture was founded in Altavista, Virginia, and became especially well known for its cedar-lined storage furniture before expanding into broader furniture collections. During the mid-20th century, the company embraced increasingly modern silhouettes, decorative wood treatments, and streamlined forms suited to changing American interiors. Aromatic cedar was particularly valued for enclosed storage because of its distinctive natural fragrance and longstanding association with textile and linen storage.
