cedar box

Wooden storage trunk

A cedar box is a storage container made from cedar wood, valued for the wood's natural aromatic oils that repel moths and other insects.

Cedar boxes traditionally store woolens, linens, or keepsakes: She kept her grandmother's letters in a cedar box.

The term sometimes refers to a cedar chest or hope chest.
