A hope chest is a genuine link to the past and deep-seated traditions for young ladies who one day "hoped" to be married. Each is carefully detailed with protective interiors for heirloom linens along with everyday items such as extra blankets and towels. Today these Hope and Cedar chests reflect the same timeless promise of heritage and classiness. Decades ago women kept hope chests to package their intimate garments, journals and keepsakes. Beautifully crafted hope chests are defined by tradition and style.
