I agree with Daylesewblessed......."hope"..........."Cedar" chest, from the open picture it looks like it is cedar lined. I have Not seen a cedar chest that had a covered top like that one but the top may be damaged is why they covered it with fabric. If indeed it is a ceder lined chest you may not want to store fabric in it as the cedar will give the fabric an odor (the cedar odor will wash out).
Do Love the fabric you chose to put on top.

It looks like a "hope" chest to me -- a place to store things made for a household start in the future. My hope chest in the 1960's was a primitive trunk that my grandmother brought from Germany in 1904. It was a slightly larger size, but didn't have the fancy hardware.

Such a cute chest. Multi functional I think it is great. It is funny some of you mentioned a hope chest. My 17 year old GD was here the other night & we were embroidering Mickey & Minnie on some hand towels. I gave them to her & told her to put them in her "hope chest" She said "what is a hope chest" lol I guess I wasn't thinking that kids now don't use them. I loved mine when I was young. I had lots of neat stuff in it.
