cedar chest

Aromatic storage box

A cedar chest is a storage trunk made of or lined with cedar wood, traditionally used for storing blankets, linens, and clothing.

The aromatic oils in cedar naturally repel moths and other insects, making these chests practical for protecting woolens and heirlooms.

Cedar chests are often given as gifts to mark milestones like graduations or weddings: She kept her grandmother's quilt in the cedar chest at the foot of her bed.
