Heirloom
heirloom (?), n. (Heir +loom, in its earlier sense of implement, tool.
See Loom the frame.) Any furniture, movable, or personal
chattel, which by law or special custom descends to the heir along
with the inheritance; any piece of personal property that has been in
a family for several generations.
Woe to him whose daring hand profanes
The honored heirlooms of his ancestors.
Moir.
