Made popular between the 17th and 18th centuries, antique blanket chests served as receptacles for young women who received gifts to be put away until marriage such as heirlooms and bridal gowns. The low standing blanket chest was an ideal storage ____ because the cedar wood that was frequently used to make the chests is known for its ability to protect its contents from decay and insects. In its most basic form, the blanket chest is simply a large wooden box with a hinged lid.
