Hope Chests

Hope chests have a rich history. They were handmade and often were lined with a fragrant wood such as cedar to preserve clothing and other materials inside by warding off insects. Traditionally, a hope chest was given to a young girl to collect needed items for use after she was married.

Today, these large, horizontal chests are ideal for general storage and are often passed on as heirlooms. They come in several styles and with various features:
 
Styles
 
  • Traditional – With light to dark wood finishes, decorative hardware, carved embellishments
  • Mission Rectangular-line design, absence of decorative elements, light to medium wood finishes
  • French antique reproduction - With hand-distressed surfaces, hand-carved hardwood legs, shaped rails, decorative elements, antique white finish
 
Features
 
They may include:
 
  • Safety lid stays, to hold lid up
  • Upholstered seat with different fabric styles in some models
  • Self-rising, fully lined storage trays in some models
  • Cedar-lined interior
 
A beautiful addition to a bedroom or most other rooms in a home, a hope chest is also a wonderful gift for someone you love.
