Cedar Hope Chest
Personally I'd leave it the way it is. You can polish it up with some dark paste wax applied with 0000 steel wool. The steel wool will remove minor scratches and polish out dull areas of finish. After rubbing on the dark wax (Minwax make this) with the steel wool just buff the wax, it will leave a nice satin glow to the piece and maintain its original look.
