Victorian 14KY gold Hope chest charm

Description : The 'Hope' chest was also called a trousseau, or glory box. It became very popular with the Pennsylvania Dutch and German immigrants to collect items for the home for when a first born daughter was coming of age, and the preparation for her married life. They were often crafted in cedar to repel moths and other fabric destroying pests. This petite, beautiful, hand fabricated solid 14KY gold charm holds a doll inside. It closes nicely and is in very good condition. This is the perfect gift for a traditional bride.
