Hope Chests

A hope chest is a genuine link to the past and deep-seated traditions for young ladies who one day "hoped" to be married. Today, they're a delight to own for their wide decorative appeal and many uses. The story behind these creations comes from before the 18th century when young ladies would place their innermost intimate garments, diaries and hand me down treasures within the confines of these finely crafted generational gifts. Finely crafted iron handles add a semblance of longevity to each piece while individual knots inset in the wood are the perfect complement. Today the hope chest returns with retractable drawers, with flip top lids and the spaciousness of long ago complete with the handsome wood quality to match.
