A chest or trunk has many names and purposes.  The hope chest is a traditional piece of furniture given to an unmarried daughter usually when she comes of age.  Stored in it are clothing, household linen, and other items in anticipation of married life.  In Australia the chest is called the glory box.  In the United Kingdom the term used is the bottom drawer.  Some other names used are the dowry chest, cedar chest, trousseau chest

The Blanket Chest will hold and keep your blankets, coats, sweaters and keepsakes in the warm months, yet be a decorative addition to the bedroom or den.  No matter how long you use it and have it, your chest will remain sturdy and beautiful. This is a useful heirloom to be passed to great grandchildren.
