Ornately decorated hope chests originated in Renaissance Italy in the 15th century. Unmarried women of the time used wooden boxes or other types of benches and trunks to store and save the items they dreamed they would need for their future marriage. European immigrants brought the tradition of hope chests to the U.S. in the 1900s. Before it became known as a hope chest, it was also called a trousseau. A hope chest was a symbol of hope for the future.

In the days of old, future brides would place items such as dishes, clothing, sheets, kitchen essentials, and more in their bridal hope chests. During those times, a young bride would typically be a homemaker upon her marriage and responsible for most of the household duties. The items in her hope chest were meant to give her a good start with the supplies she would need to begin her new life with her husband.


While women (or men) can still put household items in a hope chest, a modern hope chest often includes belongings and mementos that inspire joy. For example, the things you want to keep for a lifetime may go into a hope treasure chest. This includes nostalgic pieces or antiques you want to pass down to a future generation. Ideas for filling treasure chests include personal mementos such as travel souvenirs, scrapbooks, family photos, memory quilts, and heirloom jewelry.
