Lot 2409:
Description
Vintage Lakeside Cedar Chest, beautiful example of an early to mid-20th-century cedar chest, often used as a hope chest, constructed from aromatic red cedar, visible on the interior and the underside of the lid, while the exterior has a warm, applied finish accentuating the natural knot patterns of the wood, stands on four simple, slightly carved feet and features a molded trim around the top and functional wooden handles on the sides, a brass-colored plaque on the inside of the lid identifies the manufacturer as Lakeside Craft Shops, Sheboygan, Wis., which manufactured cedar chests and other furniture, suggesting a likely production date from the 1920s through the 1940s, interior also has a metal mechanism near the top, possibly part of a locking feature or lid support, overall condition shows significant age-appropriate surface wear, including numerous scratches, scuffs, and some white marks/residue on the top surface, suggesting it was used as a table at some point. The structure appears sound, interior cedar is clean and intact.
