Cedar chests

A cedar chest is a sturdy storage piece, typically made from cedar wood, designed to hold blankets, clothing, or linens. Cedar wood naturally repels insects and resists moisture, helping to protect stored items from damage and pests. The chest often features a flat top, sometimes with a decorative or functional design, and may include a lock or latch for security. Originally popular in the early 20th century, cedar chests are valued both for their practical protective qualities and their classic, timeless appearance, making them a functional and aesthetic addition to home storage.
