Historical Notes

Lane cedar chests were produced by the Lane Company of Altavista, Virginia, a furniture maker established in 1912 and best known for its cedar hope chests. By the mid‑20th century, Lane had become one of the most recognized American manufacturers of cedar storage furniture, widely marketed as “hope chests” gifted for graduations, weddings, and milestone events. Their chests were built with solid cedar interiors to naturally repel moths and protect linens, quilts, and keepsakes. This example reflects the construction methods and design sensibilities typical of Lane’s mid‑century production, including the aromatic interior and durable casework that made the brand a household name for decades.

Notes

Offered in as‑found vintage condition with a broken hinge and age‑appropriate wear. Please bring assistance for loading if needed, as this is a substantial piece.
