Louis Philippe Cedar Chests

There was a time when young girls would start collecting items in a hope chest for when they get married. Many times it was in a cedar chest. Cedar was used since it kept the moths away and you had the confidence that your special fabrics and collectibles would be stored safely and securely.

Old Philippe Cedar Chests were very popular amongst brides to be. Storing your mother`s or grandmother`s wedding gown was their biggest priority. Keeping the dress stored in an Old Philippe Cedar Chest gave them the peace of mind they needed. They knew that when it was time to get married all their treasures would be ready.

Old Philippe Cedar Chests were also used to store blankets, bed linens and comforters. Since you would not need them during the warmer months you need a place to store them away from dust and moths. Storing them in a cedar chest kept them ready to go once winter rolled around again.
