Description :

An iconic mid-century storage piece with a rich heritage. This Lane cedar chest is more than just furniture; it’s a piece of history. Manufactured in Canada by the renowned Knechtels Limited of Hanover, Ontario, under license from Lane, this "hope chest" is synonymous with quality and timeless home organization.

The lot features:

  • Premium Cedar Lining: The interior is lined with aromatic cedar, traditionally used to preserve fine linens, woolens, and heirlooms.

  • Functional Design: A unique dual-storage configuration featuring a deep top chest compartment and a functional full-width drawer at the bottom for smaller items.

  • Authentic Branding: Features the original Knechtels Ltd. / Lane maker's mark, confirming its Canadian manufacturing pedigree.

Dimensions:

  • Total Unit: 28" H x 42" W x 14" D

  • Main Chest Compartment: 14" Deep (Interior)

Condition: Project / Fair Condition. The structural integrity of the chest is excellent, and the cedar interior remains clean and fragrant. Note: The exterior shows cosmetic wear where the wood veneer has lifted or come off in sections (see photos). This is a prime candidate for a professional restoration or a stylish "shabby chic" painted finish.


Shipping

SHIPPABLE: No (LOCAL PICK-UP ONLY) Due to the size and weight of this solid wood furniture piece, it is available for local pick-up only.
