Vintage Lane Cedar Hope Chest – Waterfall Walnut Blanket Chest – Altavista Virginia
$495.00 USD
A true American classic. This vintage Lane cedar hope chest was manufactured in Altavista, Virginia and features the timeless waterfall-front design that made Lane famous in the mid-20th century.
The lid showcases beautiful bookmatched walnut veneer with a soft rounded front edge, while the paneled front and carved trim detail add depth and craftsmanship rarely seen in modern pieces. The interior is fully lined in aromatic cedar — originally designed to protect linens, blankets, and heirloom textiles.
Built with solid construction and traditional joinery, this chest remains both functional and decorative.
