Montague Lloyd Loom Blanket Box

Lloyd Loom is a technique and material, invented in 1917, that involves wrapping paper around a steel wire before wrapping this around a frame to create a piece of furniture that’s strong and smooth – in short, it won’t bend out of shape or snag on your clothes.

What’s so appealing about Lloyd Loom is not just its texture but its heritage. It’s synonymous with a very elegant, early 20th century style, as well as garden pieces which, far from being out of place in a bedroom (if that’s where you choose to use Montague), only adds a sense of lightness, grace and ease.

Tulipwood is the timber we almost always choose when we’re using a painted finish because it’s not only a very strong and stable hardwood, but it has a fine and even grain that means we can create a smooth finish with our water-based eggshell paints. Tulipwood is also, as hardwoods go, quite light, which makes it easier for you to move Montague around.

The box lid is completely removable making it a great place to store toys and games as there’s no need to worry about little fingers getting caught in hinges. The painted timber interior features simple guiding battens to ensure the lid fits back in place perfectly every time.
