Description

*ITEM IS LOCATED UPSTAIRS IN BEDROOM*

This gorgeous aromatic red cedar hope chest is the real deal -- a classic mid-century American treasure that still smells like it just rolled out of the mill. The exterior boasts richly grained horizontal cedar planks finished in a warm amber lacquer, crowned by a decorative brass-trimmed cartouche panel flanked by turned brass pull handles, and a brass escutcheon with its original working key still in the lock. Elegant Queen Anne-style scroll feet with applied cast metal floral medallions give this workhorse a touch of genuine refinement, while the fully cedar-lined interior -- complete with original copper hinges, a lid-stop safety chain, and what appears to be original tissue paper lining -- is deep, clean, and ready for your finest quilts, linens, or deepest secrets. The top surface shows honest age-related scratches and minor surface wear consistent with decades of loving use, and the lid corner shows some darkening, but structurally this chest is solid, sturdy, and absolutely stunning -- the kind of heirloom piece that makes grandchildren fight at estate sales.
