Open Wooden Chests with Stored Blankets
Castle storerooms held large wooden chests filled with neatly stacked textiles to provide warmth and comfort to castle guests and local villagers. Keeping emergency bedding inside sturdy timber trunks protected woven fabrics from moisture, dust, and pests.
Medieval Humanitarian Aid and Storage
Castle administrations frequently maintained reserve provisions of warm clothing and bedding to distribute during harsh winters or times of hardship. Heavy wool blankets were woven on hand looms and treated with natural lanolin oil to make them soft and water-repellent. Storing folded linens in aromatic cedar or oak chests helped preserve the fabric fibers for years without deterioration.
