Roos Cedar Chest needs love

By pamela dresser, 12 May, 2016
Description

This cedar chest has been in my family for over 50 years and not quite sure when we got it!  It was in my bedroom growing up and has a lot of surface water marks and skuffs along the base and feet. If given a little love am sure it could look brand new.

40"W x 17.5"H x 17"D

Interior cedar and lid support brass brackets are in perfect condition.

It held cashmere and wool sweaters, jackets, blankets for many years, fantastic protection from annoying moths and moth holes!
