ROPESPRlNGSETE AL
Bride's chest, hope chest or even
storage locker are all popular names
for the same type of orage piece: a
rectangular box with a lift-up lid. It
u ually had feet and was large
enough to be used as a seat at the end
ofa bed.
This imple type of on e piece
has been used inee medieval times.
In the 17905, a style of painted chest
evolved that is now known as a
dower ch tor bride·s cheai. These
eh were painted and tiecOrated in
Pennsylvania-oennan towns. The"
bride' initials were often included
in the design, d ch held the
linens and other fabrics the bride
made for her new home.
The painted Pennsylvania chest
has been copied many times. Modem
versions are till available in furni­
ture tores, but an authentic early-
19th-century Pennsylvania painted
chest is worth over $5,000.
