Cedar Chest?
editCedar Chest redirects to Hope Chest? These are different things, why redirect it? A Cedar Chest is for storing items. It's made out of Red Cedar, which is particularly aromatic, and moths hate it. In short: It keeps the bugs away from your blankets. A Hope Chest is a chest an unmarried woman would use to store up items for use when she got married. The only thing it has in common with a Cedar Chest is that they are both chests. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.216.125.56 (talk) 04:42, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
- I imagine the reason is The Lane Company patented their "Lane Cedar Chest" which was advertised across the U.S. as a hope chest in the early 1900s, and they are the main material that such hope chests were typically made of. While I don't know how useful the redirect is or general rule of redirects, neither 'pine chest' or 'maple chest' have their own page because they are, as you said, just chests made of a specific material. If any other material had their own page, I don't think it would redirect. 2601:603:5300:87F0:B863:FC5D:37FA:64B5 (talk) 02:50, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

- I don't think so. Maikel 12:22, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
- However, in its current form it could easily be merged into Dowry. Don't start a new lemma for everything, people, unless you're really going to work on it! Maikel 12:34, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

These are read from a photo in the Schleining book. Some I haven't quite deciphered yet, nor have I found the interesting patent, the one for the sliding mitre. Andy Dingley (talk) 13:42, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Removed tag requesting information on the dower system in India.
editThis page is about an article used in European and European-derived cultures. The dower system in India is a fascinating topic that deserves to be included on a page more closely related to it than this one. As far as I'm aware, the proto-into-european cultural crossover happened so far in the past that it's doubtful that the use of dower chests in the west and in India rose from the same cultural root.

- That seems reasonable to me! Brad606 (talk) 16:12, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
Grammar
editunclosed quotation mark in the historical origins header, and after that there's a paragraph with seemingly no start that doesn't seem like it goes there. Hexahydride (talk) 13:56, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
Broadening/renaming?
edit"Hope chest", as the article itself points out, is a very culturally-specific term. This article might be more useful if renamed and refocused on the topic of marriage chests in general, at least in European and North American contexts. MorrisStuff (talk) 03:34, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
Genizah quotation
editIs the quotation regarding the Genizah documents in the "Arab origin" section appropriate? I suspect not. The Genizah documents belonged to the Jewish community and reflect Jewish customs, not Arab customs.Bill (talk) 23:55, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
